I’m late on responding to this but better than never right? First, thank you so much for using my garlic image and for the 1%! That truly means a great deal.
I really appreciate you writing this post as a community organizer and curator I am really big on curation posts. I have seen it do wonders for people, making their work feel appreciated and making them feel more at home here. I was one of those back in 2016 feeling so lonely and as if no one was reading my posts (which I thought weren’t too bad bad the way lol). I remember being chosen for some of the first curation projects and it was a boost of confidence and motivation for me.
I have had people DM me sharing how much they appreciate the extra time and effort spent on highlighting their work that may have not been seen by other curators had they not been featured.
I totally agree about the rewards pool thing. When we power up those rewards from the curation post we are generally setting the stage for us to give better votes to our members as well as others on the chain. Sometimes we let some of the Hive sit there in order to reward for challenges etc. I feel it all works hand in hand.
I too need to find more time to comment on curation posts, I upvote them but seldom have time to comment.
Thanks for this ~
Oh man I can barely keep up! I'm so glad you DID write this comment as it warmed my heart. I feel despair sometimes when people say it doesn't matter and someone here even said it was a lie if people DID say it mattered as they were only doing it for the upvotes! But coming from you, I know you wouldn't say it unless you meant it, so thanks!
I know what you mean about time. I hardly ever get chance, but now I think of those poor curators feeling unappreciated and I HAVE to comment on at least a few!! Not beating myself up if I can't manage it though, just doing what I can.
