a lot of people say putting effort into posting "isn't worth it"
The biggest votes I get are from some accounts that have a lot of Hive power but have not started blogging. I find this strange. They could earn a lot more by adding author rewards. So why limit themselves with just curation?
Curation is easier and saves a lot of time. And from a certain amount, curation brings much more than the average payout for posts. For example, I will not be able to write 30 posts with an average payout of 15 Hive.
Fair enough. that makes sense.
Some people don't like writing much, or posting just for the rewards.
