RE: Is Curation Reward Broken? Maybe You're Not Getting Paid.

it has to do with the voting time. if you vote within the first 20minutes, its not good. as thats the bots voting time. if others come in and vote at a better timing, they will take it all

but i found out about how to muliply your voting power and get the highest curation rewards.
