So try to only upvote 5-10 of the very best Original content posts a day and let your Steem Voting Power recover back to 100 %
Also, when you upvote a post if you do it 15-30 minutes after the post was made you share 50/50 rewards with the author. If you wait and upvote after 30 minutes you share 99 % of the rewards with the other curators.... If you vote within the first 15 minutes the author earns most of the reward you give.
