For an average blogger or social networking user who has read the ads that STINC continues to publish, saying that this is a place where they can be paid to publish, the truth is when they come here that groups like Curie and OCD are the only realistic chance of getting a big positive vote. This is the reality, and is reflected in the staggering 120% user dropout rate experienced by Steem in the first quarter of 2018.
Not everyone is clear on the goals of each community, not everyone wants to learn and then work on the growth of the account, we always seek success overnight, then they will want votes again and again without understanding many basic things and that is when frustration forces us to give up. There are communities that show love for the small fish, the education they give us, is also a way of giving love, particularly I have not received a vow of curie, but I always feed on everything they contribute to the ecosystem!

Yeah and to be clear I think there is a lot of value in communities. I see that Curie is filling a different role, and unfortunately it is a role that is becoming increasingly rare and valuable. Less and less of the voting stake on this platform is actually going to vote for good content and being cast by real people after reading posts. Communities are great. So is an organization like @curie that goes around giving people large upvotes just for creating awesome content! And the latter actually does more to advertise for Steem and prop up the very underpinnings of the system (proof of brain) than the former. There is a ton of value in curation groups and I hope the community at large comes together to support them. Cheers
