I don't think to be fair, comparing auto-voting with manual posting. I would rather select the ones that you curated manually and then compare. And I think statistically it will still favour your curation, but only because you already have a good deal of invested (powered up) HIVE. For small accounts, blogging will make a huge difference, especially if curated by someone like you or me (I am small-medium, but have some impact too).
So, in essence, because it's the good content that provides the opportunity for great curations, new accounts are basically being incentivised to create great content, because big curators are effectively looking for that.
I know that between this theory and the practicality of things goes a different story, but I like to think that we are improving towards that path.
True, and when I want to grow my AV returns as a small account, but don’t have the funds to buy more hive, then the best way to grow it is from author rewards.
Small accounts need to be producers and the bigger your hive power holding is, the more you are able to become a consumer.
I could have added in what you said to my concluding thoughts, I agree, curation returns depend entirely on Vests!
You're right that for smaller accounts, blogging is a much better way to earn.
If I had the technical skills to sort out MV from AV that would be an interesting analysis.
NB I am aware it's a bit of unfair comparison, but sometimes I just enjoy comparing 'that which should not be compared'!
