Trust me, believing that you aren't getting upvoted because it's a conspiracy and we only upvote the 'big fishes' is a sleight of mind. Keep on uploading, giving it your best, and anyone can quickly get noticed and grab a vote from our curation team, and probably more in the future. We have ~10 souls currently working on distributing Hive account@dtube voting power solely on our community content, and it's not an easy task.
