Nice. I remember seeing your name up around mine on whale(something or other).com (can't remember the name, even though I used it daily for many months), where they ranked curators for their curation payouts relative to their SP. I remember you always being in the top 30, perhaps even lower (20? 10?), and I'm pretty sure that we flipped ranks quite a few times (I believe I ranked as low as top 10 curators for a while).

That said, I respect your approach of manual curation, as I chose the opposite (lazy) route of automatic curation through bot voting on a small list of what I considered under-appreciated, but consistently moderate earning authors, who I figured posed much less curation competition (for vote timing and other relevant things to consider) than the top earning authors.

Do you happen to know if there's a site that compares curation stats that still exists today? I can't recall the name of the site that I used back then, but I'm fairly sure that it went defunct right before I stopped using it (probably close to two years ago).
