RE: The MAP Trail Curation Contest - Delegated SP and Free Upvotes - Week 2
Aaah thank you so much !!! I try to resteem the ones that I think I have covered too much through c-squared so in a way I make sure that they are still 'boosted' haha, but yeah, you are right, the bulk of my curation work is the 'hidden' type.... :> I dont mind ! The most important thing to me is that I'm doing what I want to be doing and that is, curating and helping the blockchain improves its quality content generators :>
Thank you so much for driving initiatives like this, though ! Every little bit helps and I think you are doing very valuable stuff for Steemit :> The minnows and new users retention are particularly an important life blood for the platform, I think. The more we can help the growth of adoption of new users, the better the entire platform is going to be...
Anyway, enough ramblings from me hahaha~ Thanks again and let me know if I can do more on my end :>
The issue of retention is important and somewhat related to curation and community support.
You go to a funfair and see the big prizes; you win a little prize and look down at it, disappointed. Few figure out that winning the big prizes probably costs more than the prize is worth; they just look at their little prize as the absence of the big one. People are deeply weird! :-)
BTW you have a fan in @scrawly, and I'll ask the same question: at the end, would it be fun for those nominated to vote for each other, or is it "cleaner" to just do a random roll as before?
I personally think there are pros and cons of both approaches. But if I must choose I think it is always nice to give people a chance to appreciate each other. It will also give other people observing the conversation opportunities to read and get to know who's who, here on Steemit :>
