You are rewarded for a upvoting good content which is fair enough as everyone is benefit and this is the greates thing about steemit. Briefly, 75% of reward goes to author, rest is splitted between upvoters. Generally speaking earlier you come, quicker you benefit, but there is one thing, later you upvote more % of curation you get, as at the first minute 100% of this 25% curation reward goes to author anyway, at 15min this curation is splited 50/50 between author and curator, and after 30 minutes curator reward (25%) goes only for upvoters. Its kind of reversed auction. I understand everything but blaming author for setting bot before placing lucrative upvote bet is quite rude in my opinion...

Apologize, but I am getting sick how it become to work, bidding instead of upvothing. I start really like your blog. I come across it, because it somehow displayed in "Trending" in photography. I start reading it and they appeared to be quite interesting. I have expressed my satisfaction in comments, and you return to me with upvoting some of my photos. This is nice example of building relationship. Although my upvote is small I am happy to share with.

I was very attacked when I started on the steemit. Bad people, jealous and many things that did not make sense to me. But I've always said that I came here to be able to help people by sharing the life of my successful journey. I do not care if your upvote is low or high. I value people's attitude and respect, and you fortunately seem to me to be one of those good surprises here. Thank you so much for your generous words. You are very kind!
