RE: Leading By Example: A New Approach To Curation Guilds
Very good observation. I decided that I don't want to participate in any guild what so ever. If they include my posts, I'm Ok with that. I'm better off alone.
This was my thoughts, because on close observation I didn;t agree with the way they were operating.
I wanted to give my power, little though it may be, to someone though. Because I am spending a lot of time creating content and don't always have the time to find the best posts.
I realised the only way I can be a part of a guild that I agree with 100% is if I create a guild I agree with 100%. Even if that means allocating a couple of hours a day towards searching for the best content, I'm willing to do that when I think about the effect it will have on individual authors and the community as a whole.
It's okay if you don't have time to find the best posts, that's y there's supposed to be other people on this platform reading other posts, not just you and bots. You don't have to vote on every good post. I see this belief that "I don't have time to sit and read through all the posts." Then one does not value enough what that person has to say on that post to take the time to read it. Going through content is not meant to be "skimmed" through, It's meant to be viewed and read.
I could just be in a guild and vote this post and "skim" through your post, but I value in what you have on your post to do that. Reading what you wrote and the comments is worth taking the time to read, even if I don't get to other great posts. There are other great curators that can catch the others. That does not mean we can catch them all but we don't need to believe that we have to vote on all great posts ourselves.
I just upvote good content that I like, I don't have to be in a guild to do that. I only join a few days ago, didn't take long for a guild to upvote my post, it was my 2nd one. I don't mind, to me guilds will be a double edge blade in this platform, usually they bring a community together, but it's doing so in both a positive and negative way it seems to most.
