What you get for an upvote is the result of how many others in the same bidding window (2 hours 40 minutes), in most cases the vote will be a positive ROI, but in some cases it may only be a break even or a slight loss.  At night they bidding windows a less crowded and have the highest ROI.

All bids that meet our minimum bid amount are considered for our daily Curation Digest where we pick our favorite five articles for the day and feature them and give them additional upvotes.
