Lost Content Digest #4: all proceeds go to featured authors!
Welcome to the Lost Content Digest! On LCD, we feature articles that have passed their first payout, are well-written and original, and are written by relatively new writers, but received little attention. If an article has passed a payout without any attention, it is extremely rare for it to ever get noticed again. That's where we come in!
Each issue of LCD features a handful of articles (this one has 5), and all of the SBD proceeds of the issue are distributed evenly to the authors of the featured articles. So if I receive a payout for this issue of $100 in SBD, I will send each of the following authors $20.
In no particular order, today's articles are:
@jaredandanissa shares thoughts about living well
@pulpably discusses political correctness
@joshglen elucidates the basics of beekeeping
@sarahjordan shares a tragic story of cat-sitting
@twice-knightley gives potato tips
I encourage you to go read these articles and upvote them if you think they're particularly good! And as always, follow me if you want more lost content suggestions like these!
Good edition of LCD ! Thanks for sharing these authors @biophil
Thank you so much for featuring me. I appreciate all the love and support and love the idea!
Nice. Quite a few I've seen before, upvoted but they didn't get much traction despite the quality! It is nice that they are getting another chance.
Thanks so much for featuring me. You made my day :)
Payments of 8.764 SBD have been sent to each of the featured authors. Congratulations, and keep watching for more lost content!
How did you pick these? How did you find them?
Good question! I'm actively developing some automated tools that sift through Steem posts and provide me with candidate lists. Once I have a list of candidate posts, I go through them by hand and do basic quality and plagiarism checks.
Right now it's pretty crude, just doing basic length checks (and wealth checks on authors). I'm playing around with various heuristics (length is a great one - I'm not interested in manually going through 2-line articles) that will effectively pare the list down to something manageable.
Nice to see people I follow get noticed by others
To ask the right questions is important to get interesting answers.
curious as well :)
Hello @biophil nice concept!
I had a similar idea with TBOS if anyone interested..
mmm anyway upvoted!
Great initiative but how do you find these if you only follow 20people!?! PLEASE consider expanding your follow list!!

I don't use Steemit.com to find these. See my answer above to @jsteck!
