during European daytime, there aren't that many interesting posts to curate, imo. Not from low rep people, nor from high rep people.
Agreed.
(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.)
I understand what you mean and you are right in that respect... but it is never too late to find a healthy balance :)
