Yeah we won't give up on it completely and in the future once we have some cool onboarding tools (which I've seen some in the making) I can see it be a good place for newbies who then find out about other communities through it and can get help with guidance, etc. So will definitely keep some curation going there then too but it's been great seeing onchainart, hivegaming and other up and coming communities grow and improve in quality with quantity. It's a great showcase of what competition and manual curation will accomplish in each specific community to make them more and more enticing to consumers over time. End goal will be where authors active are so good that you'll see autovotes switch more often and even soe great authors today pass the baton and opt for the curation rewards instead cause they can accept that something better has come along to take their place. Those who're stubborn will probably have to face a few downvotes but that's a scenario I was meaning to get into another time/post. :P

The communities definitely need the support to get users to use them and hopefully there will be a price rise coming at some point that allows for a wider spread outward of value.

I do see that many of the authors (myself included) who get support will eventually look for curation more and post less. It will also happen naturally when the quality and diversity comes to take attention away from those who have been getting it til now. I have always known my own time to earn is limited (I am not dead yet), which also makes me want to power up and support those to come :)

I still use the OCD community when I am unsure where I should put something - it seems lame just to have it on my blog :D

Hi Five @tarazkp!


Anyways, I had an idea. Something like an onboarding contest. Where people onboard talented people and if those onboarded people stay and post quality content, the onboarder and the onboardee get rewarded... probably with upvotes on their posts for a while, which can be decided. This might motivate people to get more talented artists, musicians and authors on the platform that they know. In turn increasing the value of the platform.Get well soon @acidyo! I can relate what you must be going through. I underwent a surgery during the start of this lockdown and have been bedridden for two months . Haven't made a post on this though. Probably will do one later when all's well.
