Curation Rewards 2019

in curation •  5 years ago  (edited)

I had a feeling that mine have been stagnating somewhat, how do you think you are doing?




Earnings, a powerdown or two, a couple of lost/reduced delegations, and the odd delegation out to an application have moved my Steem Power around a fair bit this year. I usually keep a regular eye on the weekly curation earnings on Steemworld and had noticed a dip this past month or so, although the chart seems to show that they could be back on the rise slightly.

Another reason they could be down is that people seem to be paying more attention to their vote timing, fair enough, ya punks :P

I've seen a few people talk about adjusting how they were curating, and a couple of mentions on how @ocdb is boosting their rewards, and boosting the rewards of the accounts who support their content.

Have you noticed an upswing or a downturn in rewards?

Grab a chart (no ENGAGE tokens required!) and find out how 2019 looks so far.

Cheers

Asher

p.s. Try not to accidentally down-vote - the button has been moved a lot closer to the up-vote button!

Funky red highlight on mouse-over :D

I wonder if it's related to this error when i tried to update the post:

Spinning wheel of doom - a refresh - and that seems to work

A curation chart would be nice. I'm playing a lot with my steemrewarding.com and lately I added vote delay optimization as new feature. It would interesting to see, if there is an visible effect on curation rewards.

You seem to have quite different results day-to-day when I compare to the other charts.

I feel that my curation has gone up in the last few weeks but could not be sure... I try to tweak my autovote settings here and there .... and indeed the fact that OCDB comes for a visit on all my posts pulls people there as well, win win

Well this looks rather good to me!

added a SBI for our future :-)
thanks for the chart

Ahh, thanks very much! To the future!

Oh oh, the downvote button is there!!! I am so tempted just to click it because it's new. :0D

My custom rewards have dropped dramatically over the last month or so. I think it's the price of the token, not sure.

Charty bartfast me!!!

Please!

Test it out on chartybartfast?

What's cracking off here boom?! :'(

Look at that, it is tailing off and no mistake!!

No bueno! Others are rising!

I saw! Fucking hell man, I will have to revisit my strategy. It was going really well too!

@cryptoandcoffee should be starting a bloody curation trail :0)

You need to re tweak once a week to stay up to date lol. I will start a trail once I hit 5000 SP with a curation account. Then no comments will be voted and I will double the returns.I think it is possible to earn 8- 10 SP per week on 1000 SP.

I will follow it! You do do well, sometimes when I am on it I do well but then I dont touch it for ages

Back to the drawing board!

I think you can trail him without asking via steemauto or steemrewarding (it's offline at present). I think our fellow compadres have been gazumping us recently!

They have, the steempower guzzling mother funkers!

Like C&C says, gotta tweak them weekly to stay on top. Sounds like effort to me!

Oh that would be lovely, it'd be great to come back to after my sauna/ steem/ jacuze!

Cheers!

If you really want to make my day you could pop one in for @self-track too!

Try not to downvote!

Sure!

Some action of late on the main account, seems to be moving up a notch.

@self-track's best day by a mile was yesterday!

That's cos I've been gradually powering up the main ac and doubled ST yesterday, although that spike must be down to one post or something.

Cheers!

Hi geezer :)

I was wondering, how did you get that table? And what resources do you use for analyzing curation tactics mate? Well, ones I might be able to figure out that don't need SQL knowledge. I've tried using beempy after reading a post from @felander where he said to use beempy but when ever I input someone in the curation performance for authorpermsection I get an error. Any help would be a godsend as this is an area of knowledge I'm really weak with.

I've not used that part of the website - I just change the URL on this link:

https://beempy.com/curation/@felander/curation-ocdb-and-sbi-a-steem-strategy

To various accounts recent posts that I usually support, and if there is a larger vote just before mine, I will move my vote earlier. Or if there is a gap until the next large vote, I might vote a little later.

That's about it really, 10 mins or so seems to work alright.

Cheers buddy. I appreciate that link as it makes it easier for a coding-deficient person like me to optimize my strategy :)

About the down vote arrow, two days ago steemitblog put a post out doing a poll, I guess they did not really care what people thought and just went with their plan anyway.

I think it was a resounding yes, but I did read that you weren't for the change, I think?

Right I was not really for the change, but really did not care to much one way or the other it is how people interpret a flag (usually a warning or caution ahead), or a down vote - not worth the time to see it.

But the post/poll is only on day two. The post is still pinned to the side of the feed page in the Updates Log section. So did they really care what the people thought? As you can see the down vote arrow is rather close to the upvote, they could have at least put it on the other side of the payout value thus providing a little protection from accidental down votes, (although that is hard to do since the dialog box pops up and there should be no accidental downvotes).

They aren't the same shape, that is bugging me a little.

I saw many votes for 'Yes' in the first half hour, maybe they thought it was a done deal. Or maybe as you say, the work was already done and they thought they'd ask (and do it anyway.

They are close, but i think we'll be OK.

Hey Asher. This should be a good one and looking forward to see how much this one has improved. OCDB has definitely helped as it is like an extra boost that users wouldn't normally do.

I see a nice rising trend here :D

No surprises as I work on it. I think I am on about 4.4 per 1000 SP now and climbing slowly. Hard to maintain as I have been voting comments when I can.

It's a trade-off between growing your curation and growing engagement on your blog I think. I can no longer give every commentator a vote :(

Very true even though I appreciate engagement as well. I think if someone comments on a post then yes, but not back and forth. When I upvote a post I have already given I suppose so it doesn't feel too bad then.

I'm getting some errors from Steemit tonight, but see if this works.

I don't have much of a curation strategy. I could probably earn more, but I'll take what I get. Still reluctant to buy votes :)

Yeah I've had a few - even updated the post above and it seems not to have accepted the changes.

You could certainly earn more, but I bow down to the manual curator :)

Mine should be better than it was earlier this year!

A lot better!

Oh man...people will start downvoting...accidentally, I am telling you :) those two buttons are too close and on mobile...nasty things might happen:P

Btw may I have a chart?

Keep the thumb-fingers away :D

hmmm, a hump late feb/early march and back to the reward level seen at the start of the year?

More or less yeah...I struggle with time lately and I often see my VP to levels that I shouldn’t...like over 90%...
Thanks Asher

I would like to see 90% sometime in the future. A pleasure :)

Ooooo. I don't like that downvote button right between the upvote and the amount. That's a bunch of mistakes waiting to happen as far as I'm concerned! 😱

I've been watching my curation in your Sunday leagues but can't fathom out why it changes so much each week. I've been doing better since I started paying attention but it's a mysterious beast.

In the end I'm not sure it's worth the time for the difference it makes. 😂

As long as the slider pops up, you have that 2nd chance and so hopefully their wont be too many mistakes!

Fairly steady the past few months but up from the start of the year at least :)

Thanks for that. Looks a bit boring to me. I like the look of @cryptoandcoffee 's. 😂

Yes me too!

Could I have a chart please? Also do you know to to work out when ocdb will vote if you’ve sent some Steem x hours ago?

Certainly!

Here is the queue for OCDB. I think it's more than a 24 hour wait at present!

Aha excellent - the fountain of all knowledge!!

I saw the new downvote button - and now it's gone. So it seems they are actively working on it, perhaps.
My curation rewards are too small for me to really pay much attention to them yet. So, they're probably bigger than they used to be, just because my SP is higher, but it's still only a few cents here and there.

It's still here for me, but things are acting a bit strange.

I see a slight improvement from the lower daily totals in recent times, hopefully this will continue!

Show me the vest

Does the price of Steem have an effect on this

I have wondered about it and tentatively say that VESTS suffer less from price changes. Someone like @tarazkp could explain better :)

Out of my scope, this would be a @gtg thing however, I ma pretty sure that the vests shouldn't be as affected by price as they are the direct draw on the pool... @gtg thing... :D

Thanks Asher

If mine isn't increasing.. well there's something wrong. Could you please?

I do see an increment - it's not explosive but certainly on the rise :)

Looks good, I'm happy with that... thanks :)

I like on how @steempeak it's alot more trouble to find the downvote button, since it's hidden under 3 dots

btw the picture is taken just before I upvoted :)

heh, nice :)

I guess they, and the other front-ends, have a little work to do :)

Creeping up a little?

Hey, @abh12345.

This will be a pretty sad tale, I'm afraid. But, if you please, we might as well tell it. My curation chart, if you don't mind. :)

Well it's dropped of a little this past week or two but I don't think things look too bad?

I was kind of thinking of the overall amounts earned more than necessarily the trend. It's bound to drop off for this week worse since I haven't been doing a whole lot of anything, including curation. :)

The manual route will never compare favorably in financial terms to the autos unless the system changes. miniature-tiger spoke about one possible option recently which I like the sound of.

Can I have a chart, please? I know my curation rewards have rocketed up since last Christmas. Before that, there was another move up after HF20 when I started paying attention to curation rewards.

They are on the rise, seemingly steadily more than rockets :)

That's from the beginning of the year. But @ocdb only added about 0.5 STEEM per day at best to my curation rewards. Not much of a rocket.

@abh12345 Pretty please if it's not any trouble.

This chart suggests some days without any curation at all - a manual voter who takes days off? :)

hmm. Not totally manual maybe 60/40. I use SteemAuto for auto votes, and have my upvote time at 11 mins. Looks like I need to do some tweaking.

I’d love a chart as I’m considering doing some autovoting from now on! Manual voting sucks for rewards so I don’t expect an impressive chart :P

To the darkside :)

You've had a few good days recently, OCDB helping here?

Hmmmm maybe :D Or voting the OCD compilation posts since I'm now a curator for their project and frontrun the big votes?
Posted with

That could be it (I vote there also :D )

give me chart or i sacrifice curation rewards by removing vote

:O

Manual curators have spikier charts :D

lol,

Chart me! Pretty please?

Haha!

I don't know why they don't just put the payout between the buttons. You know UP - PAYOUT - DOWN.

That would seem to do the trick.

That could be an option, hopefully there are few mistakes :)

A bit better for you this past month!

Hopefully I can at least keep it steady. I am not sure I can increase it too much on a consistent basis. Already spend too much time on here. Gotta get more efficient! Or automate more :-(

Good evening everyone!
Asher, can I have my EKG please? 😀

Good evening! :D

Looks like you've recently switched a few things and are moving up!

Yay, thank you! Uptrend is always good! It's hard to balance things but looks like I find a way 😀

Me please! Sorry, I am behind on my feed due to travel! Thanks!

No worries, that just means you have to wait until I've had breakfast the next day :)

Not too dissimilar to mine with the dip coming a little earlier in March where you may have issued a couple of delegations?

how do i grab a chart?

Just like that :)

Go back to what you were doing in March? :D

  ·  5 years ago (edited)

lol, was predominately competing against other curators with auto curation, now i'm mainly just voting in my own time when i actually read stuff. prob not sustainable for me, need to find balance. Thanks for the chart abh12345

This is the honorable route, and by doing this you are helping everyone else. Thanks!

lol

@abh12345, In my opinion definitely it feels that there is a change and that is, the reward pool is getting squeezed. 😁😁

Posted using Partiko Android

Squeezed like an over-ripe orange :)

It looks like you delegated out most of your stake near the beginning of March?

Yes brother, I've delegated to Bot because I am Full Time Steemian so i need Liquid Steem and SBD to go through from my life's expenses. Have a blessed time ahead.

I understand. Have a lovely week :)

Thank you so much brother.

considering, it isn't too bad :D

I guess so. 2 major changes in recent times for you.

I have seen downturn in curation rewards, as much as around 7-8 SP/week.

I am sure some mistakes will happen. :)

VESTS-wise though, it's not looking so bad?

Show me your Magic Asher! I do have my own chart but I am curious how much it will differ from yours! I do expect a steady climbing line!
Will send some engagement tokens this evenening when I do have access to Keychain! No idea how I can send it otherwise. If there is a way, feel free to let me know!

This looks promising to me!

No need to send any ENGAGE today :)

But isn't this just going to reflect how much more SP we've got over time... the real test would be vests/ SP.

It's daily reward in VESTS via curation, nothing cumulative, just the days VEST earnings.

I need a table with the value of 1 SP - VEST, but as it's moving constantly it'll never be totally accurate.

Congratulations @abh12345!

I don't pay a lot of attention to curating...show me how bad it is!

Well I don't think it's that bad, and has improved overall since the start of the year :)

Hello @abh12345!
I'm curious what my chart looks like :-)
Thank you for doing these awesome charts
and desserts, I mean pies lol

heh :D

Quite a stable looking one, maybe just starting to move up?

Awesome! Thank you so much @abh12345! :-)
Good to know stable and moving up some!

  ·  5 years ago (edited)

May I see my chart, @abh12345?
Thank you!

Of course :)

Quite an interesting one. Fluctuating due to delegations perhaps?

  ·  5 years ago (edited)

Exactly, Asher. In addition to PowerUps!
The track is quite cardiopathic, ahahhahahha!
Thank you, as always you are very kind!

Seems like we have beta testing for the downvote feature now! Nice!.
CR have risen a lot for me (at least percentage Wise, not quantity wise, if you know what I mean) since I started to frontrun OCD and OCDB :D
