What drives your upvotes?

avatar

Yes, this is the topic i would like to discuss.

There are different ways to provide upvotes to the content

  1. curation trails
    You follow/join a curation trail of a particular account, so that when he/she upvotes a post, you automatically upvote that post.
    This helps if you want to curate posts, have good hive power and less time.
    The timings at which the vote is casted by the curation trail owner also determines the rewards. This might be seen as a downside.

  2. Fanbase
    Fanbase is where you setup accounts to vote at a particular time. You can set different voting percentages and also define a time when the upvote should be done. Also, define how many posts should be upvoted in a day / week for a account.
    This is helpful in cases where you are happy with the content writer and always want to upvote his/her post and also optimise your returns.

  3. Manual curation
    Manual curation is where you read the content and decide how good it is and based on that you upvote.
    The percentages may vary based on the content and timing of the upvote. Manual curation, gives you satisfaction that you have voted good content first. But this is time consuming and may not suit all.

  4. Depending on the voting power
    You may or may not read the content, you simply upvote a fixed percentage based on the voting power at that point.
    Maybe to spread more upvotes.

Personally, i use option 1 and 2 more than the others.
I follow a few curation trails, have setup fanbase for few accounts on hive.vote website.
But, i do manual curations too depending on the time.

So which one drives your upvotes?

I certainly don’t look for upvotes.

Mainly focus on helping HIVE DApps like LeoFinance and 3Speak grow.

Good post @imfarhad. I like to combine almost all of the above. I've some specialised accounts that vote only on posts within certain tags of communities. I like to have them automated so that my stake in these tokens grows.

For curation trails, I prefer to create them myself. Like that I know how they vote and I can optimize how I follow them. For the ctpsb project, I've set up curation trails for the major tribes and the main account follows them under certain conditions. Like that I can optimize the curation rewards for the project.

Exactly, with rewarding.app you can define that an upvote is given only on specific tags. This really helps for curation trails.

I personally fit the manual curation category. I don't have a pattern for my voting though. Whatever seems interesting I cast a vote upon it.

I'm manual all the way. Once my power is above 90% I pull out my guns and hunt for interesting posts, mostly anything I see as long as it makes sense
