Hey who doesn't like balls. Whoever they are, I don't need to know them so forget about it anyway.

I have to say there is probably a better chance of decent posts being discovered now than there ever has been on Steem. Not just the curation groups you mentioned above but also all the tribe/interest-specific curation happening as well. I am one of the cofounders of @c-squared and have been putting in work in the curation trenches for a long time and it is really cool to see a sea change happening. Cheers
