Wow, such an honor to be included in this list alongside many other worthy curators I know! I think this is a step in the right direction, supporting human curators who go out of their way to help push worthy content along.
I have always been uneasy about vote buying, and the latest fiasco with bellyrub has done nothing to change my mind.
Communities of curators helping other members out by upvoting and resteeming their work is the way to go.
Im not surprised to see you on the list Muxxy... ;)
