Sadly, you're right. I know a few people who either gave up or posted less.
Huh, we're about 30 curators both for English and other languages, but we only get to curate about 20 posts per day. Of course that we don't get to help everyone and it's even hard to spot the good content out, but hopefully, in the near future, the project will grow, and we will be able to do some more great stuff.
