It might(should) help quality rise up, BUT, if that just gets buried with paid votes, there will have to be a UI change that places the PROMOTED bidbot stuff into a different tab. Curation needs to mean something. My vote should always help boost something up, not be a pointless endeavor like it has been since bidbots. There's changing and there's fixing and organization. Nothing wrong with sorting the pile.

Mess around with Krita. It's a free program with many buttons. Works fine with a mouse as well if you don't have the high tech stuff.

When it comes to content, I'm looking forward to raising the bar. That might mean one post every two days instead of daily. It would be cool to do something awesome, once per week, and earn from that one post what seven daily posts would earn. A weekly episode. If that kind of thing caught on instead of this short attention span trend the internet seems to rely on, we'd see some amazing things here. For instance, have you ever noticed how short novel chapters are here, compared to a book? Mini chapters. An author should feel comfortable posting the entire real chapter in one shot. I honestly think the short chapters make the novel nearly impossible to read and enjoy, since you're only getting small chunks each day, and 24 hours is a long time to wait for another paragraph, when I can nearly finish an entire book in that time.
