RE: Understanding the Principle of Upvote | A Guide to New Steemians | How Does it Work?

in #steemit • 8 years ago (edited)

Hi @jassennessaj,

Can you help me understand a little better what you mean in the section "How do I spend my upvote wisely?"

It sounds like upvoting a brand new post that no one else has seen before will get you fewer rewards than upvoting one that is 30 minutes old. Did I get that right?

If so do you have any idea why it's set up like that? I'd be interested to know.

    Found out the answer to this myself:

    It's to stop bots getting a bunch of rewards for being the first to automatically upvote new content.

    Spending your vote wisely and the thing that you mentioned above is for curation fewards (maximizing your curation) and thats part of responsible upvoting :)
