Lol friendly thinking! Many people have the same question you can check the comments :p
Curation Rewards work in the way that the first upvoter gets a greater weight assigned to their vote then say the 10th or the 100th. The final return is also dependant on Steem Power. The Curator Gem, by its scheduled boosting, is guaranteeing a significantly increased return on your vote against average. Theoretically, this should bring the most benefit to those that actively Curate new posts, as they will be able to cast their vote in earliest. People that like to contribute can consider to cast their vote late, to support the active human Curators. Hope this clears it up, thanks a lot for the upvote!

Not really but thanks for trying. I prefer to just build authentic relationships one person at a time. Authentic engagement gets my upvote and I suspect this holds true for many others on the platform.

I agree authentic relationships are truly vital for our platform. I will send you a link when the results of episode 1 are in. It will probably become clear then.
