@the-commentator, the beauty of a decentralized platform is for people to be able to say their mind on things without fear of reprisal or backlash. So, I believe you earned the right to ask and the community also have the opportunity to reply. So far the contents I've seen curated made quite an effort in their blog. I can understand the situation where it seems ones works are not appreciated. No one likes that, and I believe steemit curators are humans and not bots. It may be not be a perfect system but it is still a work in progress. Keep hope alive and keep steeming.
