I distributed over half a million upvotes!

(Edited)

In four days, I will celebrate my 5 years on Hive. While I expect to receive a notification from @hivebuzz about it, that's another message I received from them a bit sooner:

This puts me in 13th position among all users of the platform in the @hivebuzz ranking:

I have been quite surprised because I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Anyway, reaching this milestone makes me happy for the following reasons:

  • We can grow together

While I must admit that part of my curation is automated, the most important is the way I configured this one.

I'm not a personal ROI maximalist and I truly believe that we have more interest in growing together, so I parametrized it to distribute a maximum of decent upvotes to a maximum of people, rather than throwing a few powerful upvotes to a few privileged ones.

And, as I have never done a powerdown so far, it means that I have been distributing more and more rewards to more and more users.

  • It's economically viable

If you go take a look at my hivestats page, you will find that my APR is quite good. It usually oscillates between 10% and 14%, which I consider an excellent score for someone who does not seek profitability at all costs.

This proves that you can support a large number of posts and users, not only the top ones, and still get a good return. It is therefore a win-win model that works!

Follow me

My goal is to continue this way. The recent changes in the curation rules brought by the HF25 may be a game-changer, but that doesn't bother me. I also do a good part of my curation manually and regularly upvote interesting comments left by users. And I'm ready to adapt.

I invite you to experience this way of curating by yourself or, why not, by adding me to your curation trail. You will make a lot of people happy and I am sure you will be a part of it as well.

Over 2000 years ago, there is someone who said "Give and you shall receive".
Maybe he wasn't entirely wrong.

So, when
YOUR
500,000th upvote?



PS: I'm on my way to one million upvotes and it might take me another 5 years =). Help me reach this goal faster by leaving an interesting comment here and I will upvote you!

One of my more fun days, was discovering the old Steem version of Hivebuzz. I am not usually a stats person, but it is fun to see both my own and other friends' growth, and work on hive.

thanks for HiveBuzz! I've been including a link to Hivebuzz for quite some time now, on every post.

Any tips for getting my own APR up? Currently sitting at about 10%

Hehe, a ranking is always good fuel for fun and motivation. Hence why I created the @hivebuzz project.

Any tips for getting my own APR up?

Haven't I given at least one in my post?

YOUR

Good question. I couldn't work out where to find out how many upvotes I've made so far. HiveStats seems to be showing stats from months ago. Nearly gave me a heart attack when it said I was powering down. Thought I'd been hacked. But there's no sign on a power down on Peak'd or Hive so I can breath again. Need a glass of wine now to steady my nerves. 😱

Oh. I do like those!

Next question. Do those figures include the totals from the other place whose name I dare not speak?

Tremendous work and all the appreciation for your efforts! I am on HIVE from 2017 and kept on building from that point on with a target to reach this year 10K HIVE Power. Nice to see others being active and growing this great ecosystem!

Congrats! Half a million?
That number dazzles me, has my eyes popping out of the socket. Let me try to wrap my brain around it before I comment.
Five years sounds like the begining of times lol.
And yes give and it shall be given to you, pressed down, shaken together running over.. I know for certain it is true and would like you to experience it as well.
Thank you for giving generously.
May peace and abundance follow you always.

Yes, the downside of doing so many votes is that I have to reduce their power so as not to drain my voting-mana, hence the lower percentage.
All the best to you. !BEER

Thanks @arcange, if I'm honest, it feels very strange to talk to you or any other high-level curator since one thinks that they are very busy people, but with the act of responding it gives human warmth to this community.

Oh man, you should definitely attend the next HiveFest to convince yourself that this concept of "high" / "low" people only exists in the mind and not in our community. You will find that it will disappear immediately upon meeting simple humans like you and me.

I'm pretty far from 500k. I'm close to 30k upvotes with this account. I was browsing the page, and I noticed that if I sort the list by HBD, it does not consider the HBD in savings. Now that many of us are saving HBD, it could be an interesting thing to measure.

Thank you for all the hard work you do for Hive!
