Yeah, upvotes here give you a portion of the weekly rewards pool. I sent you a link in the email that shows how Hive works. I'd recommend checking that out, but that $9.04 you see is some of the rewards you get. Half of that goes to you the author and half goes to the curators/ones who upvoted you. Depending how you have your rewards set up half of your authors half is as HBD (Hive-Backed Dollars) and the other half is HP (Hive Power).
Your Hive power makes your upvote worth more too. Check out the email I sent or check out this link. https://peakd.com/hive-191258/@wrestorgonline/what-the-hell-is-hive-a-guide-by-woo
