Im noticing that as more and more real people show up on steemit, the less and leas crap content i see, so thats a plus. These contests are great for finding those kind of blogs so i really appreciate what you guys are doing witth this program. I like this way of doing things quite alot better than minnowsupport. So i wont mute your bot!

This isn't a contest as most of the content is on Steemit, this is human curation and trying to expose people to good content. Discovery is a major issue on Steemit right now as is the lack of signal in the noise.
Yes what i mean when i say contest is in that human curation people have to decide who wins and loses. Which is more a competition element then a contest i guess.
What I'd like to see is a mid range quality listing for people who put forth a genuine effort but are a little lacking in punctuation or expression. My son had what they termed a unspecified learning disability growing up, he'd say words and he'd get close, I'd correct him but remind him it was always better to try. I think that's an important message to get across to some, there are quite a few people on here putting forth their best foot but in your heart you know they don't stand a chance when you see what stories get listed as top quality. I think something along this line would also help people from getting discouraged and leaving and close the gap of the rather snobbish attitude you see coming from the top tier. It's this very gap that if Zuckerburg ever started paying out would put Steemit out of business. Here is a prime example of what I consider an all out honest display, written totally from the heart and even took his own pictures.

As a curator for buildawhale I have selected content that wasn't perfectly written grammatically. I think that good content is more about the actual content and not necessarily the punctuation and spelling for example. The people that really stand in the way of this are the ones who are plagiarizing and trying to manipulate the system. They make it hard to analysis posts without a little hesitation.
But even though this is something I have considered in the past, it is great to be reminded of it. Whether it be from learning disabilities to language barriers. Thanks :)
Thank you I appreciate the reply and glad someone else understands we are all unique in our abilities.
