RE: My thoughts about our first week of the WOX Steemit Engagement challenge
My thoughts as a (private) curator:
Curating has never been as boring as it has been since the creation of the Engagement Challenges.
Always the same headlines, always the same topics - I don't even like to open these posts anymore, even though I know that some are of course painstakingly designed and clearly more interesting than many others. But from the title alone, nothing stands out from the crowd anymore, nothing arouses curiosity.
Oh, I miss the individual creativity so much! Individual inputs and already reading on the Steem is much more varied.
I notice how the amount of time I spend on the Steem is getting smaller and smaller, how little I engage with contributions from within, "commit" to them unforcedly, as I used to do. I scroll and yawn more and more. That is a pity.
I think you are very right to ask for quality over quantity!
By the way: I admire all those who have a talent for drawing and painting, because that's a skill that doesn't suit me at all. For me, it's enough for stick figures whose implied movement the children can classify at school. Excuse me for not having thought for a moment about submitting a little flower to you though it would have been a voteable post... ;-)
Sorry for late reply, it is post night but also the day when the announcement for new month Curation was issued so some organizational stuff.
Thank you for taking time and sharing your experience and also your impression. That is sometimes when we have too much of something then we get fed up with that. Having the standard names of the posts even though they maybe good and different in their content but it is not possible to predict from the first glance. That usually puts many of us off them.
I think the Challenges and their Upvote by SC accounts are good but to encourage the users to take in as many as possible but also that them the winner will have the higher upvote turns that rat race in crazy run against the time.
We will see how the other WOX challenge weeks will go and if we will find a fine tune of it.
I guess it's because of beign a contest that's why it's almost the same topic.
Though most contents differ with some great values for real even though it's the same topic...but i can understand this point raised.
Quality remain the key.
