Great post, Achim...
I have accumulated (and invested a bit) a nice chunk of HivePower and I was checking ROI stats trying to make that number as much bigger as I can... There are a couple of problems regarding that, but I don't want to make this too long... just a few short sentences... (my personal experience and my 2cents about this)
- If you are trying to catch high ROI, you will probably go for automatic upvotes, which is great, but... Doing that you will not upvote some of the great articles that you manually find and like, just to not ruin your ROI...
- If you have lower amount of HP ( I would say less than 500), you have to watch out about the % of your upvotes... if they are too low, your earnings from curation can be too small and go to dust (you will not receive any)...
Personally, I'm trying to combine a couple of things... I have joined 1 curation trail and limit my upvotes there, I upvote posts manually that I find interesting.. and I upvote great comments also, but if I'm sure that the author will receive something from it (more than $0.02 upvote)... oh yes, and I upvote a lot of comments with my account where I have a lot of CTP tokens staked and it can make a difference... :)
Maybe I should put all that I have written into blog post? :)

This is Awesome Content, and it will be manually curated with an upvote of 65% from @thisisawesome (will be done today), and it will also be included in our Awesome Daily Curation report in category Awesome CTP Curation for more visibility.
The goal of this project is to "highlight Awesome Content, and growing the Hive ecosystem and the CTPtalk tribe by rewarding it".
Thanks a lot for your amazing comment my friend and yes it might be worth to write a whole post about it ;-).
I had also wanted to try to reach a maximal ROI with curation but I faced the same obstacles as you. I follow two curation trails and I also have other accounts that work 100% on auto upvotes. With my main account I try to keep a certain percentage for manual upvoting. I've stopped to upvote comments with my main account because with around 3'000 HP, you need almost a 80% upvote to reach the 0.02 level. Below that, comment upvotes can't generate any income for the person who gets the upvote and it's kind of wasted.
Honestly our strategies are almost identical. I'm building my ctp account for upvoting comments. Like that the author of the comment get a real value when I put an upvote even at 20%. I tend to upvote more comments in the ctp tribe ;-)
Yup... doing the same thing... I am aware that it will not bring the maximum ROI, but I will push some people up by upvoting their comments... Maybe they will remember that in the future when they become whales... lol... Long-long-long-term planning... 😂
One big thing that we haven't really pointed out about the dolphin swarm is that the minnows will also progress much faster in such a place. Thanks to such attitudes where bigger accounts upvote comments from smaller users this actually brings everybody along. I believe it's much better to help others than just to optimize our ROI ;-)
that's my long-term investment plan :) Help others so they can help you... :)
