couple of days ago I made a post about the changes in my curation rewards when I switched to voting manually, always at 100% and only on posts I really like, and comments on my posts. Above you can compare the 'rewards last week' to the ones from the screenshot on my previous post:

As someone mentioned in reply to that recent previous post, I actually have quite a high ranking in curation rewards. I am going to continue this strategy for curation, and if you want to autovote following me, you can follow me with Streemian. I will be regularly checking the 'last week reards' numbers to compare, but I rarely made over 1 Steem Power a week when following operators on Streemian.

To explain my strategy, it is basically this:

1. I am bored, and haven't got an idea for something to write about.
2. So I browse through my feed, read, vote, and sometimes comment.
3. If I am still bored and barely even found anything to vote on, then I will jump to the new page, and see the posts that my feed filters out.
4. When I find a new author that I like, after I upvote, I try to remember to follow them, so I will find their work next time at my first stop in step 2.

I am very curious to see if I have the nose for the good stuff, just from a little observation of my curation outcomes, I am pretty sure that I outperform the users I was following, which are in the top 4 most followed streemian operators.

Good luck and good curating!
