RE: The HumanBot Curator Incubator & Link Drop v2.0.1
I'm not a gardener but I love watching/reading gardening stuff. This one is no exception. This guy provides a really useful tutorial on growing oranges in the UK of all places.
It is a cool post! but If you go to their video on Youtube you can see it was originally published on December 5th 2016 and now it has been reuploaded to Steemit almost hour ago. Just to let you know reuploading old content will never get curated by curie.
That is good to know.
I still like the post.
Sorry, I had been too harsh

Hi @umais, again I appreciate your enthusiasm here but I want to note that my instructions above are pretty clear that what I don't want people doing is going through the comments here and saying what they don't like about posts people drop here. I am looking for positive engagement and interaction. If you like a post someone else drops here, tell me why you like it, what you like about it. If you think there is something wrong with a submission here, this is not the place to say it unless you think the piece is plagiarized (in which case, bonus points if you can point to why you think something is plagiarized). Please keep it positive. Thanks - Carl
@umais is correct in this case as far as Curie goes - of course, for this Curator Incubator I specifically said you didn't have to follow Curie guidelines, as I am really trying to get a feel for what you think is exceptional, not if you can follow some rules that are relatively simple. But again, as far as Curie submissions go, the general rule of thumb is if the content was posted elsewhere more than a week ago, it would rarely be approved.
Okay I have actually read the post / watched the video now - great video, really high production values. The same video, if cross-posted here on Steemit the same week it was released on youtube, would be worthy of submission to Curie.
On the other hand, posting a video here that was posted back in December on Y outube, particularly when there is no link back to Steemit on their Youtube page, actually hurts Steemit. This is not what we want to reward with upvotes. This decreases Steemit's visibility in search engines - there is a link back to Youtube here, but there is not a link back to Steemit on the Youtube page, and the content was posted first there - this all adds up to hurting Steemit's search engine visibility. I left a comment to the author asking them to consider cross posting when their content is fresher, and also leaving a link back to Steemit.
The quality of the post is great though.
Cheers - Carl
