On TravelFeed, you can upvote posts and comments by pressing the vote button and moving it to the desired voting power. We call that giving smiles. You can give up to 10 smiles per post, equaling a 100% upvote on Hive. The more smiles you give, the less powerful they are, but your fuel tank recharges by 100 smiles every day. The more smiles are given to a post, the more visibility it will get and the higher the reward that the author will get from the rewards pool. The rewards for a post are not only determined by the total amount of smiles received, but also by the influence (currently determined by Hive Power held) of each curator — one smile by a powerful account like @travelfeed can be worth more than ten smiles from a small account.

A curator is anyone voting on TravelFeed posts, including yourself. By giving smiles to a post before it goes viral, you can earn curation rewards from the rewards pool, potentially higher than the value of your vote. A TravelFeed curator is part of our team and controls smiles given by the account @travelfeed.

We operate a team of professional curators. Every day, we read all posts submitted to TravelFeed. Up to five posts are featured on the front page and receive 10 smiles, smaller smiles are distributed to all other submissions.

We're no longer supporting nor curating articles published through platforms other than TravelFeed.io but offer the possibilities to distribute content to other supported third-party blockchains.
