It's especially hard when you are looking at new posts in funny. So much garbage and regurgitated links and memes. Why post a link to something outside of Steemit? Kind of defeats the purpose IMHO.
I didn't know that about the resteem. I thought that was how you curate. Like I said, I'm learning.
Thanks for the lesson.
Nah, curating just means upvoting.
You upvote, and it's slightly more likely to be seen, depending on the size of your upvote, which can then get it more upvotes, etc. Although, if you upvote and resteem, if it's good enough, that's liable to get it even more upvotes. You get rewarded with SP from the post if you upvote early and it's successful. It's relatively small when you have little SP, but it increases as you get more.
