RE: "How Can I Get Big Upvotes on Hive?" .:. Late Night Blogging
I think it was slightly harder back in the day. From my curation experience perspective, I've been curator with OCD for 7 years now and things do change. These days, it's a lot easier because there's also communities all around. So, there's high chances you're seen by curators of each communities that are incubated within OCD. In the past, without communities, it was truly wild west to find great content, now just make the best content, engage and someone is increasing their chance of getting curated.
But I believe that true curation lies in individual users too. I mean just like @namiks on the movie community; someone has accumulated quite huge of hp but their curation is let's just say close to 0. We need to emphasize the idea of curating,consuming even staking when you can too rather than relying on big upvotes too.

While there are some arbitrary things and rules at play but I still believe there's still a chance for random newbie to make it big over here.Realistically, grinding a year or two.
Implementing communities helped a lot... Not just for curating posts, but also for easier finding "your people"... Despite some negative comments, HIVE has evolved a lot from where we were 5-6-7 years ago, but we have a lot more things to improve...
I'm not giving up on HIVE... It has a lot of potential, but people need to realize that and use that potential for the long term... It sounds like a utopia, but I believe we have a chance...
That's something that I like to emphasize everywhere... Individual curation is the real thing... It empowers the person who is doing it, and it creates much stronger bonds between the author and the consumer/curator... and it gives a good example for other newbies!!
If we are to believe that Hive is more than just 100 or 200 actually active people, then having even small fish voting on each other would amount to something. One thing is that I don't think we're really as active as we'd like to assume, people are far too spread out in those niches, so votes are even more thin.
At this point curation is entirely arbitrary unless you're part of a select few. We've seen how people with 50k HP can get targeted and downvoted and rejected from the norm of big account = getting high curation. Hive at this point is just a flatlining bore for the majority and a money pool for an oddly tight circlejerk.
