It ain't easy, though. I mean... maybe it's different during US daytime, but during European daytime, there aren't that many interesting posts to curate, imo. Not from low rep people, nor from high rep people.
I have the 'created' feed open in a tab all day, refreshing it at least every 15 minutes and, to be honest, I'm pretty bored with what I get to see.
Sometimes I feel like I should take the easy way, optimize my autovoting and look after myself first. My curation rewards have gone up a little, but they've not skyrocketed.
But then again... looking after myself = trying to give this platform a future... and without new accounts, there is no future.
Still, I find it more difficult each day to motivate myself.
(And, to be honest, I would lie if I said that my own reputation score didn't matter at all. I know it is shallow, but still... It's a little frustrating that not really getting somewhere with that rep score is the price I'm paying for helping out so many newcomers these last two years.)
Agreed.
I understand what you mean and you are right in that respect... but it is never too late to find a healthy balance :)
