Steem Curation Reward Estimates

Curation Rewards are in Steem Power and Are Quite High

Rewards for voting on Steem content are called curation rewards. These rewards can be quite high. They are rewarded in additional Steem Power, which means that the more you curate, the more your power to curate increases. User @arhag calculated the current rewards, estimated in Steem Dollars (STEEM-backed dollars) and posted them to the Steem slack. I have reproduced @arhag's calculations in the following table.
