I do appreciate your effort in this, helping new Steemians (like me). And I agree that those paid curation services are somehow distorted the original purpose or vision of Steemit. I am a bit pessimistic on this, as in people will continue to try paying to boost their posts, and do not really care about the quality of their content. Frankly, most of us are normal people, and it is not easy for every of us to write content with high quality every time. Out of thousands of people, only a few of them can become famous writers (or photographers, or poets, etc.) But since people can buy Steem and power up, many people will try to make use of this to earn money, and distracted from focusing on good contents. They will somehow create some posts, and let those services to upvote regardless the quality.
Anyway, I no longer treat Steemit as a profit-making platform. I am trying to treat it as another social media channel that I will share my thoughts and life, like other social media sites such as Blogger, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I know I will not be able to create high quality content in every of my posts, and most likely only a few of my posts will be interested by fellow Steemians and gain their upvotes. Being too focus on the number of upvotes and reward received is not an effective use of one's time...
Keep the good work up, @acidyo! Fully support your vision and this OCD project.
