Honestly, I never really liked the manual (or automated) curation system of tribes because it's fully linked to hive upvotes (with a potential multiplier) which makes it crazy complicated and time-intensive requiring users to make multiple accounts. I'm personally also not the most socially active on reading and commenting all too many posts but I do highly enjoy making content using it as a way to improve on what I'm personally doing in terms of Betting / Crypto / Play2Earn. I know at least some enjoy my content and have gotten to know a lot of like-minded people along the way thanks to having a blog.
I really liked the original @monster-curator initiative which helped me pull the trigger on cost-average investing into SPT way back while it was cheap (Link) as it provided good passive income while the curation by the team also made the front page look nice rewarding bloggers that were actually putting in the effort.
I also got a big bag of SPORTS tokens back in the day as that is my main topic and I created a curation account for that (@costanza.sports) putting in some Auto-curation upvotes using hive.vote but I haven't logged into that account for ages though just because there are so many other things high on my priority list.
The same people behind @monster-curator started the @curation-cartel which pretty much does the same thing for most tribes allowing users to delegate their Tribe tokens doing the curation for them paying out most of the curation rewards passively. (See Post)
I tend to just keep the Tribe Tokens I'm earning from my content and I staked some more of them now delegating nearly all to the curation accounts and I will see how it all goes going forward.
| Tribe Token | Curation Account | Amount Delegated | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPT | @monster-curator | 2 Million | 4772$ |
| LEO | @leo-curator | 2500 | 531$ |
| ONEUP | @oneup-curator | 4000 | 56$ |
| CTP | @ctp-curator | 1000 | 24$ |
| POB | @pob-curator | 950 | 24$ |
| NEOXAG | @neoxag-curator | 5000 | 3.5$ |
The biggest by far remain SPT on which my initial investment has been paid back multiple times. I had not sold SPT in a while and had over 200k SPT in my account from passive returns which I staked and added to my curation just to have an even number. I do assume that the team will come up with an extra use-case after the SPS airdop is over otherwise it will for sure come down hard which I'm fine with.
I'll see if I can delegate more of these tokens along the way and I will likely start taking some weekly profit on SPT as I'm pretty over-invested. I will likely bring an update next month or so with my initial exprerience. I also plan to put some more time in re-adjusting my Hive auto-curation tomorrow and try to do some more manual curation along the way .
