RE: Why is Curation on Steemit by Some People Considered a Heroic Deed?
No matter the level of SP you possess curation is one of the most thankless jobs here.
Sure, there’s curation rewards but you’re hitting the feeds and arduously filtering through the abundance of trash and plagiarism. Like for fucking endless hours.
If you don’t do that you only end up in a constant circle jerk with your followers in your personal feed.
Work should be paid. That’s why we get curation rewards. And I know it’s all subjective but in the case of high stakes curation the daily self votes are okay in my opinion as to try to avoid these power curators being corrupted by vote buying.
Was it really a “trending page club” as you put it, or just a reflection of the content that power curators thought was best?
We should try to protect trending. Steem won’t prosper without our best foot forward.
No system is perfect but as you’ve stated even in this comment section at least the old way let the little guy have a chance.
Yes. Yes it was. Relevant information and arguments/critiques can be found here.

My point (before reading your link) was that surely their intentions weren’t that horrible.
I don’t care much for stated intentions. I look at the actual behavior and results.
Just take a look at some of their replies to that post to see how shitty they acted as super-important and naturally “good” people. And then realize that they’ve always acted that way...and likely still do.

Hey @personz!
I read one of your comments and the idea of creating a "Bot or not" program/app/... How did that go?
I am very interested in knowing how many/precentage of bots amongst the active users here on steemit...
That was a nice idea, I didn't make the effort to do it though.
I think perhaps it has been done better than I could have imagined by @andybets and his Steem Sincerity project https://steemit.com/steemdev/@steemreports/visualising-spam-scores
Thanks @personz, I am going to look into that, nice talking to you!
