Actually, curation votes are given out at the discretion of the curator and are not garunteed. So, any curation is generous because it doesn't work like this: You create content for Splinterlands = They return votes.
There's a whole team of curators and to say FU to one of them might as well be saying to the whole team and to Splinterlands as a whole. I curate for Splinterlands and OCD. You wouldn't tell the OCDB upvotes you get SOMETIMES from your Gaming posts 'FU'. No content creator anywhere on HIVE is guaranteed votes... so that is a wrong way of trying to look at this situation.
We were all little fish at one point. Not telling the bigger fish 'FU' is a good strategy to grow and succeed here. I don't even get to participate in the contests for Splinterlands since i am curator... so it's sad to see people squander the privilege for potential curation and participation just because they are ungrateful. Just my humble opinion. Thanks for this civil exchange.
