RE: I’ve asked @bycoleman to hand over the keys for the @nobidbot account to the community
I don't really understand, except for the profit motive which strikes me as more than a little optimistic, what advantage bycoleman's plan has over just supporting Curie, which has established infrastructure, witness support, and already selects for users who don't have significant payouts.
I guess it allows you to upvote posts about Steemit. I doubt the other forbidden topics are particularly important.
While I am a big supporter of (and contributor to) the Curie curation effort, I don't see that this would have to be a "one or the other" situation. Curie has a pretty intense competition among curators to submit only the best posts, and only the best of those get upvoted. There is still a world of good posting out there that won't get the Curie upvote. I am personally a top Curie curator, and since I started 6 1/2 months ago have personally accounted for 10% of Curie approvals with my own submissions. That hasn't stopped me from operating my own curation effort (@r-bot) and upvoting many times more posts that I wouldn't submit to Curie, but which are still good posts.
BTW the easiest way to support Curie is with a witness vote. Curie recently dropped out of top 20 witnesses and in so doing lost its major source of income. Luckily we all have 30 witness votes :) I see no reason anyone couldn't support Curie with a witness vote, and also support other curation efforts.
Nice seeing the love for Curie though :)

Yes, I have trouble figuring out how to spend 30 witness votes, but Curie is an easy one.
Hey @carlgnash , you probably saw that @bycoleman suggested I contact you. If you have any ideas about how to best grow the #nobidbot tag, feel free to share or join us in the chat.
Also I think it’d be really awesome if some curie curators searched the tag to find some great material. Us content creators can work to show our best work and bring other great creators while the curators can come curate what they like here.
