Steemit: @abit vs @snowflake - 180k Steem Power battle!
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](https://steemit.com/whales/@stellabelle/money-cannot-replace-integrity-why-i-still-vote-according-to-my-inner-compass-instead-of-max-roi), which was a follow on from @snowflake's [post](https://steemit.com/steem/@snowflake/enter-a-whale-s-mind), 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

A similar style of voting towards 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.
