RE: Something to Think About- Issue #1: A Selection of Amazing and Enjoyable Curated Posts
Hey Sharoon, I think the idea of curation in this space is a good one. When I look at my feed, it's a jumble of poorly-written, random crap that people just put up and hope to get paid for.
That's something I think needs to be addressed in the crypto world. If you have decentralization, you have a peer to peer transactions for content, a sort of new marketplace. BUT without a way to wade through what you don't want to see, you miss the good stuff, like a needle in a haystack.
So how do you choose the posts you want to showcase? What's your criterion? How much time do you spend searching? I'm just curious. :-)
Curating more work is extremely important because that's what helps the many under-appreciated people here come into the limelight and get the recognition they deserve. I got more visibility on Steemit because of many reasons and one of them is because of the many wonderful curators who curated my work.
I choose posts based on their quality. Although writing and self-development are my niches, I don't just choose posts restricted to these categories. I look for posts from any category that has something interesting to offer and one that isn't just a picture or a word long and has some meat to offer. The time I spend on searching depends on how quickly I find good posts. My main is to curate at least 5 to 7 posts each week and today, I did that in an hour. Sometimes, it does take longer.
