These are some great thoughts. I came to this conclusion myself when wading through the inundation of copied and pasted posts and incorrectly categorized introduction posts. I don't take my $0.03 upvote for granted. It takes such a long time to find quality content worthy of my time.
So I'm glad I found this post, because it serves two purposes. Commenting and up voting a relevant and well-thought out post, and enacting the very thing that you've advocated.
Here's to better curation rewards in the future! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the upvote even if its only worth .03 it shows your commitment to finding content that is beneficial to everyone on Steemit. Here is to Steemit being run by more curators that vote for content that represents the best examples of original content.
