Their mission is clear:

How To Join Qurator
All new members have to pay a one-time fee of 4 Steem for a life-long membership. That means you will become a Tier 0 member and receive their daily upvote for that Tier rank as well as become eligible for their other services.

To rise to Tier 1 and 2 you can simply upvote the daily Qurator report with a certain amount. For the higher ranks you need to delegate Steem Power to
You will recieve higher upvotes with higher Tiers. All amounts are calculated to keep it fair and profitable for all members while keeping voting power equilibrium (not more than 20% in total every day) at the same time. Every member will get their upvote every 24 hours on their latest post and never more than once a day. This way the system stays stable and works for everybody.
