My perspective on Curie is that it is one of those evolutionary steps that this new lifeform needs to take, it not pretty but and essential one.
What i mean by that is its helping bring users from a non-crypto background up to a level where they can start to curate meaningfully in there own area of interest.
Creating more evolved diverse sealife from the primordial minnow soup. I see this being most evident in the art/photography community on steemit. The internet is a tough playground for artist to make a buck through expressing themselfs via their art.
Curie is one of those things where its own success will make it obsolete.
But it will have bridged a vital step on steemit and earned the appreciation of all.
