Yeah, no problem. I appreciate plain language. You are probably right, that I should have researched more seriously, but I already spent the whole day trying to understand, what's going on. In particular, it was very confusing, that the first winner in this post received an upvote, while the others didn't.
Also, I would really appreciate a comment under the winning posts, explaining the thing ("Congrats, you will get an upvote") and maybe inviting them to join your discord, if they have questions. If I would have received such a comment, I certainly would have preferred asking over there before writing the post.
We're doing that, but once the post had paid out so it doesn't seem like we are promoting this to get votes, but more as a "congrats". Sometimes when you link someone to a post still in payout window might be taken as "go vote me, since I voted you" kinda thing . Thanks for all the feedback we'll definitely take it to get better and better at this. Have a great day!

Particularly as an artist I can say, that some honest feedback is often more worth than money. Especially in times, when other social media is often limited to likes and emojis.
Prooving, that the Steem community is not only for making money, but for getting to know cool people, might push it even further. You know: "We came for the money, but we stayed for the conversations."
Would be great, if your curators would keep that in mind.
