RE: Altcoins Face Sell-off, but Outlook Remains Optimistic
Generally on curation teams it is best to join people you know well. However, if you want to take a step and refresh the team, it is important to take risks, it is like everything in life, we cannot always be in a comfort zone, if we want to achieve something new, or make changes.
My experiences with the teams have been very varied, I have had very good, and not so good, teammates. But in all cases when something wrong was detected, that person left the team. I think the biggest fear is seeing ourselves involved in an unwanted situation, but as I say, sometimes the changes were also good, because it was the new members who adapted more quickly to the changes. It seems that it is difficult for people to uproot themselves from what they have learned, that is a desired skill to create new things, but very scarce.
Sometimes I see Steemit like this - too few like minded people wanting to do good and too many just wanting a dollar.
What is most discouraging is the fact that a large majority do not seek to do things for their own sake, for example, they do not write because they like to write and create. But writing is just a means to earn a dollar, which distorts everything... Likewise, some (and I prefer to believe that it is a minority) are curators not to support good quality publications, but to benefit themselves. of that resource, which as we know is nonsense, like a short-legged lie that is always caught.
Anyway... My position is that it is important to launch into creating something and take the risk with what you have. It may be that in this way something different is achieved, which is what we sometimes long for to inspire us. I'm just a dreamer who continues to believe in what I like to do...
It is hard if not impossible to adapt something new if the dollar speaks.
I doubt the young/new Steemians are the ones easily to adopt something new. A certain basis (knowledge) is needed about how the platform runs and can keep running.
I you read the comment section of the steemitblog inviting new curators it says enough. At times it feels like a slapstick but it says enough. It's not about the love for the written word.
Btw: If I ask what I wrote perhaps one moderatir or curator will answer and can tell the reason.
It's my believe an SC represents Steemit and should do a bit more than upvoting and leaving a picture but it can be I am just an old fool living in a different world following non-existent rules and old fashioned ideas and am not worth to be read.
It's good to read issues within one team are always solved.
A good,relaxing weekend

When I say new, I don't mean newcomers, I mean people who haven't experienced those roles.
I see that the current curators only continue to vote, for example under the rules of 30, 40%... They do not risk doing something different, to vote for example with different percentages. In order for them to do this they would have to read very well what they vote for.
A short time ago, I called one of them's attention through a comment because he voted for a post that seemed like a copy of the internet... It was a post written in the form of a list of those you find on the internet...
The old curators are very tied to routine, and I understand that they do it this way to be able to make 25 to 25 votes a day...
Anyway... Everything is very "automated", even though it is handled manually.
And of course things can be improved, but that requires an effort, which we would have to see if we want to make.
That's my opinion on this matter. For now I look at things from the other side, but I look at them.
Sadly this is the reality of Steemit. Perhaps if it were harder to determine where the dollar will be (i.e. Learning Challenges, Booming, etc.), people will feel the freedom to be themselves. Who knows what the future holds - a big part of me wants things to return to how they were when I registered - without the plagiarism.
