Everyone has their own perspective on curating, and very few whales are making a handful of authors to be rewarded so heavily. I have explored some interesting facts that I would not have expected, and after all of these, I have stopped diving deeply and ignore everything now. Some curators only vote for relatively higher-reputation authors blindly but less for new authors despite having excellent content. There are a handful of authors who don't power up their rewards but lend a lot of HP, and they just interchange their votes among themselves in each post; I don't find any wrong here as they have made their own strategy to build up their portfolio. Even for me, I would vote for those authors first step who vote for me on my post. Still, there are many good curation trials like ocd, curie, block trades, appreciators, and others that support quality content, but many others follow their own strategies most of the time with less support for quality content. The good thing is that everything is diverse here, and everyone has the freedom to do whatever they like.
