A small hint for curators

in WORLD OF XPILAR10 months ago

New teams of curators have recently started work. All of them have published their guidelines and among the rules we can see the following:

In general, the requirement to have at least 300 words in the post is fair, because we want those who put more effort to convey something to the readers to receive more rewards. But I got the impression that sometimes the curators treat this rule too carefully. Namely, when it comes to art.

If an artist wants to show off a painting he's been creating for a month, does he have to write something in 300 words? And if he wants us to see in the picture what only we can see there?

The same goes for professional fine art photography. Often such photos speak for themselves.

However, in my opinion, art is undervalued in Steemit, and I'll give you an example.

I have shown you three professional artists who follow the club system. Most of her posts are rewarded around $2. This support has a single source - @xpilar's curation trail. Those posts that received more rewards were nominated by moderators on booming. Among these posts, I did not come across a single one that was supported by the team of curators.

Why? Creating a picture requires no less effort than writing 300 words. The same goes for creating a good photo. You can take 1000 pictures, and only one of them can be considered true art.

With this post, I want to urge curatorial teams to pay more attention to art as well. And, taking this opportunity, I want to show you this comment from SC01:

I also appeal to artists, join the club system and #burnsteem25 initiative and you will be able to get more support.

This topic has been brought up so many times and sc01 has been clear every time - the word count can be a guideline but common sense needs to win. Unfortunately, everything sc01 says / suggests becomes a "rule" and then "the community" expects everybody to follow these "rules".

I'm actually amazed that I'm still allowed to post anonymously and that I've never been asked for photo verification!

As you can see, I'm not a fan of posting my photos either. But I probably published them twice.

Anonymity is both an advantage and a vulnerability. It's good that no one suspects you of farming accounts :) But as you showed, a photo with a piece of paper with an inscription can simply be bought.

And the funny thing is that I probably have more accounts than most farmers 🤣

I suspected something! I couldn't understand how a gorilla could type so skillfully on a keyboard.

You always knew more than the other kids ;-))

I agree, art needs to be more appreciated on steem and they don't have to write 300 words.
Many artists post in WOX, that may also be a reason why they don't get upvotes from the other communities because they want to vote for those in their own community.

I hope after SC01's words, artists will get more attention, because usually what SC01 said becomes law :)

Thrilled to see you bringing some light onto the subject of art - and you are quite right!!! As an artist myself, I truly feel this. Art takes time to create. Days, weeks - sometimes even months and yes, good quality art should be allowed to speak for itself.

I don't think artists should be made to feel like they have to write an essay to accompany their piece... unless they wanted to.

Perhaps an idea would be to have a slightly different "rule set" given to the curators for specific niches like art... ie. they have different key factors which they check off... like authenticity etc.

Just my thoughts :)

But either way - lovely to see this being brought to light.

I've been suggesting that the Steemit team create a team of curators that would only support the art. However, they did not like the idea, but they stated that all existing curatorial teams could support art. Well, let's see, maybe now artists and photographers will get more attention.

There are many professional artists here in the WORLD OF XPILAR community. Not all of them post regularly, but they are true professionals who deserve the attention they deserve. They are supported by an administrator and moderators, but their capabilities are limited.

As an artist myself

You intrigued me. I hope you will show us your works. Unfortunately I can't rate them as I'm ignorant of art. I may or may not like a piece of art, and I guess that's all I can do :)

Personally, I think that is a fabulous idea! I do feel that art requires a specific kind of individual (if you will) - a person who has an eye for things like that. Not saying that the average person cannot appreciate and support art... only that certain things may be overlooked or undervalued by a less keen eye.

It would be nice to see a positive shift in that respect.

Perhaps one day I will share my work here, and connect my "two worlds" :)

In essence, that is all there is to it, lol!

Thank you for this suggestion and the approval by SC01. Fortunately, I have read your SR report in Steem POD Team community and am aware of this update. I will definitely follow this rule if ever come across an eligible post.
