Excepti dont get a cut and altho i love digging fir gold its hard work. Sometimes i find good writers and convince them to change a little n it has paid off a couple times
"Curation" is truly a promotion thing. Much better than playing bidbots , you find ppl that will appreciate your work. Its not easy to get curied. But the big payouts provide curators some small incentives to keep digging.
This. Curation is an integral part of the Internet and has always existed.
From Usenet servers where one could actually follow and find, via the directories, to nowadays Google and (ugh) Facebook.
That is not to forget the Kottkes, Waxys, Daring Fireballs, Drudge Reports, Bleacher Reports, Boing Boings of the Internet.
Bonus: good curators have always found audiences, followers and generally financially fared really well. Yes, often by means of advertising but those were the known and obvious models.
well people would upvote things and authors would have to pimp their stuff harder--- the thing is that groups like curie work in part because there are curation rewards. there are many curators out there right now digging for stuff that curie group will agree to support. THe problem right now isnt curation rewards. Its just another talking point in service to the questions of quality and rewards. THESE PEOPLE that question curation rewards are people that have bid bots. As has been said. minnows upvote stuff even though it makes them nothing and doesnt make the author anything either. THE biggest problem is the gap between dolphins and whales IMO, I have yet to seen anyone with an economics degree AND also a vast understanding of PR .
I will have a look. The thing is though that this is not about making steemit go viral. It will or it won't. I have great hopes that it will take off and be successful even more so than it is just now.
I question curation rewards because I have seen quite a few posts about them recently. They have never been a consideration for me. I suspect that it is the case for a lot of other people too.
Groups like curie could still carry on, there are many ways for funding community initiatives. I don't have a problem with curators getting paid. Nor actually a huge problem with curation rewards.
But when there is a problem I like to offer a solution that others have not thought of. It's the magic of community :0)
However removing the curation rewards would do more bad than good things.
Not everyone have the talent/skills to write high quality blog post and the earnings of our posts are depending on the people, who upvote the posts.
And the amount of each upvote is able to give is depending on how much Steem Power the user have.
The curation rewards gives Steem Power to the accounts, who vote on posts/comments and the more Steem Power we have, the more we are able to give in a single upvote.
So the curation rewards are helping the whole community in the long run.

I think curation itself is awesome. I also think it would happen if there were no curation rewards too. :0)
Most of us don't get any appreciable curation rewards anyway, only the big wallets do. Yet we curate.
We do indeed and works no doubt carry on as normal

It's true, it is a vital part of every other major site and they often do do well.

we have all these specialists in their islands shouting. But the truth is that no one really knows what will make steemit go viral. I mean actually you should watch this https://steemit.com/steemit/@sirlunchthehost/the-crypto-struggle-showcast-presents-talking-with-techslut-we-discuss-flags-steemit-and-surviving-the-ecosystem-exclusive-video
