What if i told you that you could earn more SBDs AND save the platform from disappearing up its own arse, just by re-thinking what you are doing with your Steem Power?

Earlier this evening I started a blog regarding how two of the top performers in my curation league handle their curation.
Stuff that for now though, this one had to top the bill...
Having read Stella's post, which was a follow on from @snowflake's post, I had to do a little digging...
I'm really hoping that the output of this data will show that some of us need a re-think. Lets see...
My suspects - @abit vs @snowflake
A few underlying numbers before we start:
@abit
Steem Power: 185,846.360
100% vote value: 15.07$
Voting Power: 94%
Number of votes in last 7 days: 237
@snowflake
Steem Power: 685.79 SP ( 180,783.36 - 180,097.58 )
100% vote value: 0.04$
Voting Power: 70%
Number of votes in last 7 days: 138
Points to note here are:
The size of the accounts - very similar without @snowflakes delegation
100 more votes during the last week from @abit
@abit - Spread of votes across reputation
@snowflake - Spread of votes across reputation
A similar style of voting towards reputation
@abit - Spread of vote weight across reputation
@snowflake - Spread of vote weight across reputation
Very different styles of voting - @abit using varied voting power percentages
Yes but Asher, snowflake has delegated all his SP out - he doesn't give a shit about curation and its rewards. Why are you showing these graphs? I'll tell you in a minute....
Curation v's Delegation (Weekly reward)
Curation
@snowflake - 0.5 SP
@abit - 501.423
No surprises here, but I think a pretty good return on investment from @abit
Delegation
@snowflake - 0
@abit - 0
Hmmm... no rewards for delegation here for @snowflake? - Lets look a bit further down the Wallet.
I make that about 305 SBD for the week.
Now, forgive me here if I've missed something, but doesn't this mean that @abit made almost $200 more for his weeks' work than @snowflake?
That's about 800 SP a month more / 40% greater returns with almost the same Steem Power.
Summary
@snowflake -305 SBD total weekly rewards from @minnowbooster
@abit - 501 SBD total weekly curation rewards
Who says it's not financially worth it to manually votecontent? I disagree.
Yes, curation takes time, and maybe this amount of time taken by @abit isn't worth the $800 extra in @snowflake's mind?
The spread of vote % by @bit should be taken note of by large accounts - You will beat @minnowbooster if you curate with skill in my opinion.
Either way, for the good of the platform, I know which whales mind I'd like to be in.
Asher
p.s. @snowflake - can i get a vote from @peaceandlove here? :)
Well done @abit!
