yeah, it is definitely an odd thing how people on steemit act. Ive noticed if i boost my upvote with bots like minnowbooster or randowhale I end up getting way more views and upvotes from minnows, but if I don't hardly anyone will look at it. However, that is really dumb with how rewards work on steemit, you should actually be looking for the post with no money and zero upvotes to curate because that is how you get bigger curator payouts.. its like people just want to follow whatever the masses are doing (like sheep).. I guess most minnows dont realize if you upvote posts with huge upvotes already you are just wasting your vote??? But once again that goes back to the lack of real information provided by steemit when you first join.
( its almost like the system is set up on purpose this way to feed the whales)
