The biggest fun in manual curation (on tribes I care most, and am involved most) - comes from understanding, that with my every mouse click, with every post opened, and advice given - I can help my favorite tribes to prosper, to grow, to build confidence for it's new members.
The more my tribe will develop and improve - the bigger also are also those indirect benefits to me, as a member of it, as an investor.
Since about 3-4 month ago I stopped paying attention to all other HE tokens and tribes, except only two - LEOFINANCE and Proof-of-Brain.
All other tokens (mainly dust) been sold immediately, and all collected funds from that goes now into buying more POB.
Since last Hive HF (hard fork) I even stopped my separate curations with my Hive power completely. 20K HP been delegated to my .leo and .pob alternative accounts, but very soon I realized that Hive curation is just not much worth the wasted time. So I made my own curation trail, where my main account (with the remaining 230K HP) is now simply following my .leo and .pob accounts, and upvoting those posts which I have previously already upvoted with my LEO and POB stakes. Simple.
There is no need to chase first 5 minutes window anymore, or find most rewarded authors, or do all kinds of other optimizations etc etc. FLAT curation reward algorithm is such a good and easy route now, for me as a Hive curator. And I can help my favorite LEO/POB authors by giving them some extra rewards with Hive tokens, and help them with the visibility and/or reputation score. My tribes are my family, right?
Not that I have learned very much new or useful in reading those hundreds of posts, but I don't even had such hopes or goals anyway.
But that (above) is only half of the goodies.
Another big thing is direct profits from the 50/50 reward split.
After seeing several posts last week of people sharing their results in curation, I decided to check and see how much I gain every day from my curations (as this is not the biggest part of regular income from all my various crypto activities, I was never paying much and precise attention to this)
https://hivestats.io/ has some good data on various statistic metrics, and here is what I found, for the last seven days. It covers just the 50% part of my curation rewards, done from accounts onealfa (230K HP, 0 POB, 0 Leo), onealfa.leo (20.7K HP, 0 POB, 624K Leo) and onealfa.pob (19.5K HP, 98K POB, 0 Leo)

With today's Hive, LEO/CUB and POB prices so much down from not so distant levels of ATH's, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my time spend on daily curations are yet not doing so bad. When the tokens will rise back up to the past ATH (and above) this fun part will go up accordingly. All is needed is a bit more patience.
So did I convinced you that curation can be a time-worth and useful pursuit? 😉
This above data does not include my other passive crypto incomes, from 1380 LEOM and 167 LEOMM miners, 62% Uniswap LP, CUBDEFI LP & farming, 10K LBI, 76K DCITY population, 430K APX stake (now on hold), Masternodes, ADA & ETH staking.
I just wanted to show the 50/50 split and FLAT reward model is working, and how it looks in real life.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
