How to curate in #Newsteem as Minnow

#Newsteem is upon us and the rules have changed.
We all had a week to look at it, we were even given some breaks, to reflect on everything.

It is here and it stays.

So, let's see, what we get out of it.

As author ("creator") we lost some bits.
As curator, we gained.

We gained 10 Minutes, that we can upvote earlier.
And get back 50% of your upvote.

But as a minnow curator, you have to watch out for that sweet 20 Steem spot in the graph above.
If you vote on any content, that is below it on payout, you will lose that percentage (not gaining it).

So, you better upvote known authors, that for sure get upvoted above the 20 Steem payout.
New authors, you should avoid. Wait for them, to get some whales on their back.

Don't upvote anything below 20 Steem.
Like my posting.
They never reach that spot.

Go into trending, look for the usual supects and upvote their shit.
Don't worry, the downvote rush is over, no one is doing this anymore around here.

If you are a whale, or have an upvote >20 Steem, you can just forget anything I said above.
You are the sweet spot and make the rules here.

Sad news, but that's #Newsteem
