Why I Just Voted for @curie for Steemit Witness (And No, I’ve Never Received a Curie Upvote)

I believe in great content. And I believe that when someone creates great content, it has the chance to positively impact us, teach us something, expand our perspectives, inspire us, and more.

But a lot of great content will not have its day in the sun. That’s just life. And it’s because there are so many people creating content, so even the best of the best can sometimes get lost in the mix, especially if it comes from a new user.

But there is something that we can do to change that, and that’s why I voted for @curie for Steemit Witness.

Because, even though I personally haven’t received a @curie upvote, I have seen what the account has done to change people’s fortunes and even people’s lives here on Steemit. It changes fortunes because with one @curie vote, now creators have the good luck of having others finally read their worthy content, because @curie has recommended it, and it changes lives because of the impact that the post can have on others, as well as a potential career that it can launch for someone who truly emerges as a star on the platform.

That’s why I’m all about @curie. I’ve seen the good that they can do for Steemit. I’ve seen the users that they’ve inspired to continue on Steemit, so that we can continue to read their intriguing articles, watch their engaging videos, and hear their music.

We have a responsibility here on Steemit to recognize and lift up those who bring value to our platform and to our community, and @curie is spearheading those efforts.

Remember, the greater the value that Steemit brings to the internet, the more interest we generate in bringing new users to the platform. And as a result, the larger our opportunity to create an even wider impact in the world with our content.

Because here’s the kicker: Almost every day I’m seeing more and more Steemit blog posts popping up in Google search results when you type in your query. And for good reason. There are blog posts relevant to answering questions about anything from cryptocurrencies to poetry. There are blog posts that walk you through how to make brand new recipes. There are blog posts answering common questions that travelers have about visiting their dream destination. And much, much more.

We are a global community, with the chance to have a global impact. But only if we do it right, and if we bring great content to the forefront.

So let’s do our part too, and support those, like @curie who are doing so much to bring attention and recognition to the great content that is being put up on Steemit each and every day.

Remember friends, our right to vote for witnesses isn’t something that should be taken lightly, because you could say that these votes are “curating” the future of our platform.

Also, in case you’re wondering, I’m not worried that I haven’t received a @curie upvote before. Because I know that when I am most deserving, I will be considered for it. Just have to keep grinding and earn it!
