Smaller votes definitely matter as well and they get their own bit of curation rewards also. Helps them feel useful knowing they are helping someone to grow and helping themselves grow.
I normally don't post finance content, but have a few times lately and gotten more into the finance side of things. But that's why the votes coming in on my comments, even small ones giving some LEO, help me to grow when I can't keep posting content in finance all the time.
LEO price heading up again, so can't buy too much at a time when I do, but still am buying bits!

I hear you! I am definitely not used to produce finance-content either, but LEOFinance makes me go out of my comfort zone and even though I might talk much about LEOFinance in itself, I try to up my game and produce other types of content as well. It's a learning curve, a bit unfamiliar compared to the things I am used to, and have been used to for 4+ years, but it's fun and rewarding at the same time.
As I still haven't become truly comfortable writing about finance, comments makes things a lot easier for myself as well. I love to comment and discuss things and to be rewarded for that feels almost unreal as I am used to how things have been on Steem/Hive for such a long period of time.

I always feel like unless you are able to provide the statistics or a proper economical analysis, a lot of the things posted about in finance wouldn't do so well.
Then you still got other topics that are probably easier and more up our alley, for getting into and being comfortable posting about finance. For me that was talking about dCity and providing information about value of my cards, or the helping people grow their cities by talking about their SIM income and what it was before, then after helping, etc.
50/50 rewards are great just because of the ability for curators to actually want to do the work in voting and knowing they get a much bigger chunk back. It's win/win for authors and curators.

I can relate to that. Those things were/are often the most rewarded stuff on Steem/Hive as well, until you become someone "noteworthy" and gets added to auto-lists. That's when you can start produce whatever content you want, and still be rewarded. A shame really, as it often tends to lower the quality of content as well.

It only lowers the quality of some people's posts, the ones in it for money with least effort in their posts. But yes, that's when auto votes are the worst, but with any good comes bad.

Yeah, that is very true. Obviously auto-votes doesn't necessarily automatically turns high quality content into low quality, but I have seen dozens of people during the years I've been around here, who've started to produce less quality, and often more quantity as well. And I would be surprised if that didn't had anything to do with being put on auto-lists.
