RE: Why CURIE "needs" to be your choice for Witness /My thoughts/💭

in #curie6 years ago (edited)

Well, thank you for letting me know how great @curie was before. I feel like everything that I read about them just compliments them for their help in the past. I’m very new to steemit, about 3 weeks now, and what I find is that Curie is not what many claim to be anymore. Basically, they are now just a group of a few privileged that get all the benefits that everyone got or had a chance to get in the past. Isn’t that how it works now? Only the few benefit? They no longer allow anyone to suggest or curate. You must be selected. Only a few get all the benefits, that before a large amount of people took advantage of. They no longer try & help the underdog, their demeanor has changed. It helped you, but for all the new plankton: Good luck!

Sort:  

In the past Curie accepted submission from everyone that wanted to submit, but that ended up leading to an enormous amount of spam, and bad submissions. The acceptance rating was extremely low. That was of course before my time here.
What they did afterwards is not to shut off others from being able to curate, but rather created a room in the discord channel where those that want to become curators have an opportunity to:

  1. show their skill and dedication
  2. show that they have an understanding of the guidelines and what makes a generally good post.

Thats actually how i became a curator, took me maybe a week and a half. And a lot more people have been accepted in the exact same way. You are free to go there and try it for yourself. :D

I dont understand how you mean that only a few benefit? Curie supports minnows everyday, it gave out more then $2mil in upvotes to quality creators. There is a ongoing feed on the discord channel where you can see who gets the upvotes.

Id wager that this "feed room" holds the highest quality content on any Steem related pages, discord channels, etc.
