We normally count the upvotes towards the Qurator account each MONDAY 12PM UTC. We need support from the members in order to keep our account big and active. Most of our profits we use to lease SP.

Those who do not really support by upvoting/delegating still get their @qurator-tier-0 vote currently worth around $0.04. This is a lifetime vote so you will eventually get it back if you on steemit for the long run.

The Tier 2 vote is currently worth $0.32 cents with the low steem prices. It's pretty easy to get into and stay in Tier 2. Just drop by each monday before 12PM utc and upvote at least 7 @qurator posts =)
