RE: DO NOT read this post unless you actually understand Hive

The only time I really saw a lot of people voting down to below 50% was at the outset of the last hard fork when curation was modified and things were insanely skewed lol.
Other than that though, my personal philosophy is to vote on lots of accounts at smaller percentages. Granted my vote isn't worth that much compared to some, which may have an effect, but I think that works well for me.
I could see that voting higher amounts and less often could be beneficial as well. You have less often curation rewards coming in but your curation rewards could be higher.
Checking HiveStats on yours compared to mine, whatever you're doing is working pretty well, you are at 9.1% APR for your curation efforts whereas I'm at 8.9% APR. I don't know how that gets factored into things for your behaviors versus mine (I follow Curangel trail so I have to spend less time focusing on voting and more time on engagement and content)
Taking a look at Curangel versus Buildawhale, I see some differences but buildawhale is more on consistent voting instead of finding content.
Overall, I think our behaviors are working out pretty well. I know that with the really high numbers, that difference in 1% means a fair bit of money but overall I think we are in a good spot. Hovering around 8-10% APR is really pretty amazing considering it's voting habits only. With the last economic change on Hive to allow for a first-24-hour window of near-equal split for curation rewards, I think this evened out the playing field a lot and there aren't a whole lot of "big changes" one could make to maximize curation return.
I remember that time during the hardfork when the rewards got reset for that week and it was a mad dash to claim as much as possible. Some people made out like bandits with that.
I think my method is similar to yours, except I do like to throw out larger percentage votes when I feel they are deserved (sometimes by accident.)
I really would love to know how to best increase our curation APR. I have seen mine spike to 12 or 13% months back. I haven't seen it dip below 9 for a while. Some giant accounts who vote regularly have less APR than you and me, but I've seen others with less HP have even more.
I need ALL answers that exist, might have to upgrade my brain's RAM to take advantage of all of that.
Yeah I need to get better at increasing the vote for folks that deserve it. I know that I’ve adjusted my voting behavior to try and stay above 90% but as my vote gets stronger, I’m doing more voting so giving out higher ones here and there isn’t bad!
With getting above 10% and stuff, I think you’ll have to go out there and find content to vote on early and hope no one else votes on it, I think. The more votes it gets, the more things get chopped down for APR. could be off base on that but I think that’s how it would work.
Good luck to somebody brand new to Hive trying to nail down that 15% APR.
