RE: Application for the community curators for July 2024 | Steem Spark team
Thank you so much, @o1eh, for this application. I know you are very busy, but you are such a good teammate. You are always open to discussion and our inputs. I want to take this opportunity to thank you. I'm really grateful and lucky to have worked with you in this capacity.
Coming to the tags:
It's the most used tag. We could try to be different and embrace a lot of "thinking outside the box" approaches. But if we talk about being practical, we can't ignore this tag. No - it's not an option. Sometimes, there are really good posts under these tags.
On Google Sheets, I can't help but group these posts under other tags like life, creative writing, and many others. As I have mentioned before, I have nothing against this tag. In fact, I have used it on an occasion or two myself. Of course, my diary was entirely on another tangent.
In a nutshell, this tag can't be ignored. Even if we try to drop it, another tag with similar momentum will appear in a month or two. So, there's nothing wrong with including this tag, but we have to look for other tags in that post to find the unique element.
We can definitely levarage with this one. Arts- it comes in all forms
Again, there is so much potential. It's not just about recipes and techniques; food is an incredibly vast and varied topic. I'm eager to see how people will use this tag in new and unexpected ways, exploring angles that haven't been considered before.
Here's to hoping for the best possible outcome. I'm feeling very optimistic!
Thank you, I am also very comfortable working with you in the same team 😊
Choosing tags was a very difficult task. This is how I used to work: I would select the tag #steemexclusive and go through all the posts and support the best ones. Then you told me that you rarely use the #steemexclusive tag. At this point I realized I must be missing a lot of content. Now I go to the main Steemit page, select All Posts, and look through each one for the ones worth supporting. Unfortunately, most of the posts are pure garbage and my curation time has more than doubled, but the occasional reward is finding a new author for me.
I am proud of you! I know that you do even more work than necessary to get everything perfect: thank you for that!
Good luck!
What other tags do you find interesting posts in other than the usual cliche tags?
Anything that intrigues me to read the post! I don't care about the tag... But the tag should be the reflection of the post. It shouldn't be abused for vote scoring. Play with it however you like, just don't abuse it.... 😉
