Oh wow .. this ''ramble'' ( as you say it :P ) was quite enlightening , as I had a general idea on how the Curie system worked this video tackled many things I had no idea about ! From the whole process of how a post is reviewed to the actual Curie goals when it comes to it's account.. I never went to see how big the Curie account was since I assumed it was a big SP stakeholder .. so .. that came as a surprise and hey ! it's not a small thing to put into weight in the big picture! It was great to know more of the in and outs that go between the levels of members too , big respect ! There's a lot more work that I thought it was with all of you.

Though I'm not what you could actively call a curator, I try to do my thing here and there with little initiatives , most die , some stick around longer , I've been a @curie supporter pretty much since I found about it . My vote has been there for as long as I can remember ( ever since I learned how to set up a trail vote , though it must be a dust nowadays.. ) as I am also very into the idea that the most important value of the platform should be the people and quality content they provide and engagement to the community ( though unfortunately we are still not there in my opinion , but hey.. we are trying and of course Curie has been on the lead for as long as I can remember) .

Also , I've said this dozen of times .. Curie is the reason I stuck around .. When I first joined and submitted my first song it got a very big Curie , about $100 at that time and it kicked off the though of ''Oh wow.. someone actually thinks my art is worth something'' .. I first only thought that ''hendrikdegrote'' was a music enthusiast , I learned about what Curie was later on .. and for the first months around here ( like many others) I had no idea on how to network , meet people , etc. I did not have a discord or knew where communities ''hanged out'' .. none of that . My whole mindset for the first months was : " If I put enough effort and make content good enough it might get curied'' and I did very extensive music articles and lessons... I basically ''worked for a curie'' those times hahaha.. and I got it quite regularly .. to which I am very very grateful .. it's at least 70% - 80% of the reason I am still around a year later :D .

My content and activity has changed a lot since those days since the more I learn on the in and outs of this platform I find myself doing quite more work on the background while trying to ''keep a front page'' . But well you know about behind the scenes work 10 times more that I do :P ..

OH! and btw.. just checked ...

this just happened on my last big post! , on a song I released almost a year after the first Curie .. so .. thank you @curie for still being around .. it is tremendously appreciated!

Thank you for all you do @llfarms , your efforts are greatly appreciated by many on the platform and I know you are one of the people trying to ''make this place work'' and take it on the right direction , others will follow the lead I'm sure ;) .

And unrelated ... I like the video location :) ! If I had some green around my place I'd totally set a camera there hehehehe!

Lastly : "Chocolate cake is life'' .. BOOM

much love
