Congrats on getting the top award. I think with the way Hive voting works, viewers play a small part, while networking makes a bigger impact. Getting a big vote from a whale can be more than getting a lot of small votes most of the time. I do think that if a post gets a lot of views, it will get a good amount of votes, but having a curation based on views might be tricky. I can see how it can easily be exploited.
