Some very interesting and valid points here as always but I cannot agree with all of them this time. I think the 5 minute window is actually not that important. With all those new manually curating projects with millions of delegated SP, it can take hours or even days for them to discover the undervalued gems by unknown authors so it is not really necessary to find and upvote them within minutes after the publication. Being a @TipU curator, I have been trying to spend some time every day browsing through all the created posts in tags that I am interested in and look for such posts. If you haven´t heard of the @TipU project, I wrote a post about it last week.

It's completey OK if you (partly?) disagree. However, my own experience is that my upvotes were very often the last ones on a post. The early upvotes on my own posts and the one of my wife are nearly 100 % auto upvotes. Everybody who comes later will earn less.
Yes, I know. You are on my autovoter too, after all, as you are one of those authors that I want to support constantly, knowing they produce almost exclusively quality content that I am in interested in. I was talking about great but undervalued posts by new or little known Steemians with no (or very small) followers base and supporters. That is where the 5 minute rule is not that important and where you can earn decent curation rewards even when voting hours after the publication of the post. In the "Old Steem" days, most of these gems would just pass by completely unnoticed so to me, this is one of the good things that came with the "New Steem" era. But of course, the whole curation thing is still far from perfect.
