I gave this author an upvote and a follow - to me this is a good post but I don't see it crossing the "exceptional" bar. Just curious - did you really think this was exceptional personally, or was this just one of the best posts you found while looking? I ask this because there is a very real syndrome that afflicts curators - the "this post is not absolute shit so it must be exceptional" syndrome. When you are surfing through the seas of crap posting, a good, original post can sometimes seem like a diamond in comparison to its surroundings, but like that amazing pebble which you found on the beach, loses its sparkle when it dries off (is examined later on its own merits). I guess what I am saying is the first question to ask yourself is if you truly feel this post is exceptional. If the answer is no, then it is not a Curie submission. Of course, you may have truly felt this to be exceptional - in which case we are in subjective territory.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Definitely i wouldn’t call it exceptional... maybe good enough to float over the big mass...
so.... I may not suggest anything that’s not exceptional... I was feeling a little sick today and didn’t knew what was it... thanks to you now I know it’s the “this post is not absolute shit so it must be exceptional “ syndrome...
To be clear, you absolutely can submit a post that is good not exceptional here for more exposure and I may upvote as I did in this case. I was referring in specific to Curie and your interest in Curie curation :)
Completely understandable!
Maybe today I’m lucky and I find an exceptional one!
And algo now I’m more proud of my own posts for getting curie support 😜
