Hey Steemains
Its that time of the week again, where I go a bit of treasure hunting or dumpster diving you choose by the quality of the posts I find.
So let's dive in and see what we can find this week shall we? This is my 5th attempt in sniffing out good posts from smaller authors and I think I'm getting better at it, what do you think?
Found a few hidden gems?
If you found or know of an author that you feel is undervalued and would like to give them 15 seconds of fame why not enter the @pifc curation contest. You can find all the details you need in this weeks submission request post here

Nice selections, @chekohler! And with such little rewards. Wow!
Thanks yeah and they were hours old, I was very surprised to see that they got such low rewards. Glad I spotted them and we can give them something for their efforts
really nice pick @chekohler, why is your second blogger only has 8 as his rep? he surely create a good post... but I supported both of them because I like reading their post. thanks for sharing and I hope that next time you'll be the first !
Thank you so much for supporting them. Yes he was a 28 when I found his post but we've pushed him up to 30 and hopefully got him some new followers in the process. This is what its all about isnt it?
Lol yes ill really try to be first next time
Oohh no @chekohler.. you should check his post now, his reputation down to 7, lower than yesterday when I read, I wonder what's going on with his account!
Thats strange, I see his rep is 30.15. I checked on steemit and eSteem its the same. Can you share a screenshot?
I'm talking about jorge not len.art
Oh yes, apparently this person was plagerisiing posts from other users posts on Facebook and was reported by steem cleaners and has not disputed the fact. They've also been sending the money they make from posts to one central account and extracting it from steemit. Not the best way of making yourself valuable to the community, its really unfortunate.
well.. we need to check them out before we featured them, right? I was once find someone like that too for the pifc, and I think that once your account include in steamcleaners, it will hard to grow. Cheetah got me one day when my posting is nothing to do with the link it included in the comments, and I protest them for that.. and I think I'm still in their list. I just don't give it a damn anymore,... I do what I like and I don't steal other stuffs
Thank you so much for a wonderful entry @chekohler! Both selections were very thought provoking; and a special thanks for bringing more light to the plight in Venezuela too.
Thank you for taking the time to read the posts and support these authorts, I really appreciate it
It was my pleasure :)
glad you are part of the contest going to check them out now.
Thanks , every little bit counts in getting these authors up and running
I loved the first selection! Such a great story!
Unfortunately, since you featured the second blogger, they have been hit big time by steemcleaners for plagiarism. I can't find any evidence for it in this particular post, but I'm hesitant to support them. I nearly chose this one or one of its affiliates last week, but my spider senses were tingling when I followed who money was flowing to... (There's a small group of them - the money all goes to one account.)
Hi
Thanks for the feedback, i went back and reviewed their profile I see two of the posts were flagged for plagerism and linked to two different users Facebook posts, that is really unfortunate.
After I featured the post I also got a wierd message on discord about donating STEEM/SBD to some venezulean people. Seemed very offish, clearly trying to extact some cash out of steemians. Thnaks for doing the investigating and i'll keep a look out for things like these in future
Yeah, I felt it sad too. I really feel for the Venezuelans right now. They're going through hell and they really do deserve the support we can give them on Steemit. But for all that, there will always be schemers and scammers and this group feel like that. I appreciate you sharing your experience there as it pretty much confirms what I had felt.
Don't worry, we all get caught out from time to time.
