In your case, you know what you're doing. You're controlling not only what to reward the author but also the curation reward you earn for your upvote.
Many people, mostly new Hivers but not necessarily, are just going on autopilot and in the process cheating themselves of earnings. It's leaving money on the table, and in the case of new Hivers trying to get themselves established it's taking longer than necessary to pass the dust threshold.

That is why I used to suggest all the time for new folks to check out @theterminal. The team has devoted themselves to helping new users to navigate STEEM, HIVE and Discord. They have been doing it for a number of years. They are a great bunch of folks.
There are many more folks. The most unintentional secret on the blockchain. Yet the team is gold to a person that is new.

@sgt-dan,
Appreciate the shout-out!
Encourager Extraordinaire has a nice ring to it... is that French? 😁 But all kidding aside, thank you. I have always tried to just "be me" and help when I can... stay quiet when it's appropriate, and spread positive energy. Always good to hear from you brother!
Thank you for the shout-out! 😊
That's good to know. I've been to The Terminal a few times, and probably tagged it in a couple of posts. I should promote promote The Terminal on D.Buzz and in my "signature" for posts I make.
