RE: My fave grocery - SteemFoods contest
Wow. I am amazed at various things. First, thats some population you have at St. Petersburg! Really crazy. Second, those prizes!!! Most of the things are very expensive. Like the ginger, tomatoes, oranges. Crazy how prizes can vary that much. For me garlic is a MUST. And onion. And the combination of onion, garlic and pepper is like the best. Really great post. It lets you now how this part of life is similar but at the same time very different from other parts of the world. This is an awesome post and I hope you win or if results are already out i hope you won. Greetings!
ha ha ha ha. you may look into comments. a lot of entries, and even comments, received a decent upvote just on applying the entry - I guess, 12-13 steem is a decent upvote? while the rest received a 'consolation' upvote of 1 steem only.
you may think what you want about the SteemFoods community, but now I think it is typical and probably not advise you to enter any their challenges. well, until you agree to this game of random. I spent 5 hours taking pics, editing them, writing the story and translating it - having a 'consolation' upvote for it like 1 steem (or 13 cent) do not look like nor attractive, neither fair - while some posts are upvoted recently, others are simply ignored. note, the contest was claimed to be supported by @steemcurator01 and 02. this seems true just in the part, they will upvote the initial post announcement, and results, haha. i.e. they support the 'community' but not the posters.
and, yes, I still amazed at some things happening here on Steemit. you know, @steemcurator06 was created as curator for the Russian speaking community of Russia, Belorussia, and Ukrain. then, Italy was added here, i.e. Russian curator had only 2 days to use this (small) curating power for our posts. And the recent news is, Turkey have been added! now one day 'Russian' @steemcurator06 is working for Russian posts, one day for Belorussia, one day is left for Urkrain, one is for Italy, and one day is for Turkey. isnt it amazing? no surprise that most of Russian users under this state of things, have their posts without its curation. of my 20 posts recently (and I dont post too much - just 1 post per day!) only one was upvoted by the Russian curator.
I dont know for sure how it is going for Belorussian, Italy and Turkey users, but i think, it is probably on the same level: 1 day for all of the posts, if there is a huge amount of poss, then its nothing, it simply do not exist, and has no importance. frustration is creeping. meanwhile, some posts receive 6-12 steem curation for lazy-easy diary posts.
I appreciate your feedback a lot. the good part of this competition is, really, watching how the life is going on in other countries, I like to examine how the folks houses look from inside, how the local markets look like outside, what foods people buy, and ofc the prices.
and the prices... yes, they are crazy :(
I love the garlic very much, but my wife doesnt share this passion. eggplants is my other big love. we have the season from Auguest till September, when eggplants and tomatoes are cheap, I try to consume them a lot, as much as possible :) in other months they are on import, and very very expensive...
a! what is the sense of running a conversation in this mode :P simply I am a looser who cant get a great salary for doing nothing. I always preferred to have a decent job - and decent job nowadays isnt paid well, thats a harsh truth. Only top managers who are in charge of stupid decisions, can have great salaries nowdays :P
Well that is really an unfair situation. If you must know, I kept my distance for so much time because os some similar things. I really gave my all and almost never received a vote from the community which supported spanish speakers. It is sad when sometimes posts that are stupid receive all the votes and in the meantime other great posts get forgotten. That is one of the reasons that I don't invest as much time as i would like on this platform. Though when i do i try to post always decent stuff which i think i do. I hope some day this situation changes.
Eggplants are so good. I also love artichokes. Best thing ever in the whole world. And no, you are not a loser. Don't say that.
Have a good week friend.
never checked it, i think
I dont say that. Well, when I said it it sounds as a joke, and I say it as a joke sometimes. But on fundamental level yes I am. depends on the criteria. The modern world is not created to fit the intellectuals, its mor the 'intellectual majority' (which is an euphemism for the idiots, haha). Lets pause the further discussion in this direction, it may be not fruitful. And I am not a whining kind of a person!
o! you think in Spanish comm this shit is there, too? heh. at least know what I may tell you.. there is such a curator named appreciator, he curates hee on steemit blockchain too but his main power is on hive, where he is a real whale. it is a known scientific fact that young latin girls (especially having Venezuela etc put in their profile) receive a 6-8 hive token upvotes from him ON A REGULAR BASIS. not sure if the thing will work, and the posts should not be a 1 photo with no txt, ofc. but it can be all sorts of shit, just provide a good layout (from the template, i..e the same all the time), 5-6 pics, or maybe 8, spanish text, #servantes tag... well, you know what to do.
have a look at this blog.
I checked it a bit recently... and was amazed at the upvotes... and what kind of shit it is (imo. nothing personal!) while some folks are working hours on their posts trying to bring quality content (and getting 200 votes with like 2-3 tokens in reward), she receive 8-10 naturally speaking, at the blank spot.

i read the EN translation.. if you'd read the original spanish, what will you say? Do you consider it to be a good post?.. (note, all the pics are from photobanks!).
so, if you'd like, you may try to earn Hives. just note a few rules I mentioned above... your goal is appreciator :P not the good content :)))
Heh, i know a lot this cervantes and i dont think he will ever vote me again. Lets just say we had a bit of an altercation a few years ago. And i dont even want their votes. Its not worth it.
And regarding that post you put the link to... i don´t have any comments. I mean, its not even something original. Or at least thats how i see it. But well, i suppose that is it is your voting power you can do whatever you want with it. Just don't say you're a curator of ''real'' content.
But anyways, i don't think i will be joining hive anytime soon. Maybe next year.
'altercation'.. intresting. well, I dont want to take your time, but if you would like to feed my curiocity, I will gladly listen about that.
I am glad to hear we have same opinion on that
and, yes, the thing a lot of posts like this are well-rewarded on Steem, and on Hive, still gives a food for one's mind, for lot of doubts and sorrow things.
actually, I didnt voted it. no need to give it more time, but in the comments to that post, I put a lot of critics of it. but nobody cares,
'the caravan and camels dont listen and still goin further ' (if you see my 15% vote for it, it is what was done automatically as a part of Talentclub voting trail).
Sorry i've been away from the pc for a few days. But lets just say that they made so many silly rules about what you had to do in order for them to vote one of your posts, if they ever did. It was just ridiculous. And also other stuff. In fact, talentclub was born from all of this dispute.
oh!!!! thats a nice bit of info to know. (by 'they', do you mean Cervantes here, or...?) I never was in the know, how it was born. thank you for this little piece.
