That's right, I think one of the problems is that the common author who does not know much about Steem does not see the great advantages of having decentralized curation projects like Curie, that are normally focused on collective development more than the individual development or the development of a exclusive group of authors, it's hard to be curied more than once, but it's the best for the grow of the community.
I think that the solution to this problems is to bring out new ideas and projects which are specialized in a niche or segment of the market while we focus too in supporting projects like Curie and Cervantes which who are capable of attending a large amount of authors who create content on various topics.
