Curating Manually: Welcome To Hell (Funny Story Part 1)
Hello Hello and once again Hello! I hope you are all doing great and never forget that you can do everything and that's your only enemy is yourself!
What a motivational intro right? I bet your lives just changed!
Anyways, if you read my yesterday's post i talked a bit about my thoughts regarding the new HF21/22 and more specifically about the whole "let's get into manual curation" thing. So aside my own usual mumbling, i set some curation goals which i am not telling you again so go and read them (because i know how much you care) in this post!
Since yesterday i am trying really hard to search for some new and "quality" posts that at least i deem worthy. The first way i tried to do so is by just searching via the New page which honestly is the worst possible way to do so! Let me share my experience in a funny way!

New All Tags= Middle Ages Black Death
Like Hansel & Gretel i was tricked into browsing the New all Tags page as it seemed to be a paradise of hundreds and hundreds of posts. Little did i know i came across a completely different picture. It was like the expectations you have by watching a commercial about a juicy Burger and then in reality it looks more like a pile of shit.
I was literally scrolling for an hour and the results were close to 0. It felt like i was lost in endless space, alone marching towards nothingness and if i was lucky maybe a comet( reference to a good post ;)) would pass close to me, killing me, ending the suffering!
But what did i discover you may ask...Are you sure you need that information?
The vast majority of the posts were made by some masters of the art of copy/paste so you can expect random YouTube Videos, Stolen Photos and Memes. There is a next level though! This is a highly advanced technique that only a few can master.This technique merges the art of copying and pasting with stealing images and then......wait for it............wait a little bit more...............writing 2 single lines and game over guys.
Next we got the wannabe lazy vloggers or whatever they are. The representative of girls would be Maria and for boys John. In between the above posts Maria will pop up with a post about how she done her hair today, all in a single picture. Then John will make a unique post showing his face with a selfie. After 2-3 posts here we go again with Maria uploading again her hair which look exactly the same. John will answer to that challenge with another single selfie post...
Title: Desperate for an Upvote
We don't care about your hair Maria neither your face John. Literally i can click hair in google and see millions of haircuts and John, your face is exactly the same everyday man, go punch yourself if you want to make a difference in the selfie!
Don't worry though, i'll survived and still found some decent posts but tomorrow as Arnold said, I will be back with the second part 2 of my post. Meanwhile till tomorrow stay put and don't move for 24 hours waiting for my post! Let me know of your funny/frustrated stories while manually searching!
