My contents had been upvotes by the powerful curators sometimes, but I often wonder why not all the time! Haha!
I can say it’s not always the post that I spent the most effort on that gets curated. Occasionally a 10 minute quite note gets crazily upvoted.
Most of what results in the impact is due to the curator having a huge following of copy voters. Sadly most would never had read my post themselves too.
Not complaining about these votes but I do think most of it are uncontrollable once we put in a decent post.
You are right about having fun. I wrote about that recently too. !PIZZA
My guess to the answer of why not all the time is that they have a lot of people on their feed and wish to spread the votes. That's what I like to think at least. Or for instance, when I posted about the World Cup for a month, I got very few votes. I guess maybe the curators hate soccer, everyone has their own particular interests.
