RE: Vlog 432: Opportunities on Steem are everywhere.
I wish you can still find time to blog about developments on Steem post HF21 despite your intentions to take on more of a curating role. I've found these vlogs of yours a valuable source of information. Also, from a marketing perspective your enthusiasm and your efforts are setting a good example.
I'm predicting that after HF21 there will be more concentration of author rewards because curators stand more to gain from finding content that is going to be upvoted by a large mass of voting power. Some people are pessimistic about that leading to the same authors being at the top perpetually. I don't think so. After taking the curation game a little more seriously in the last few months, I've noticed that resting on your laurels autovoting the same authors at the same time while trying to front run the big guys does not work as well as going on a search for the next good thing. You have to put your mind to it if you want to achieve the best possible results. HF21 will not eliminate bid bots but, hopefully, it may discourage the worst cases of overvalued content and motivate those who create trashy placeholder posts just to self-upvote them to look for better content for the same results.
I'll continue to create content about Steem for as long as it's useful. It's a good incentive for myself to stay up to date. And who am I kidding, I love doing the research anyway and talking about Steem, for hours if I have too :)
About curation, it's a game imho. Time vs Rewards. Finding the gems take time with more rewards. Taking the easy route saves time and gives you a little less.
It's the same with my Splinterlands choice. I got time back in return for fewer rewards.
Earning STEEM will be tougher too. Blogging about your cat might not cut it anymore unless you are someone like Beyonce. It will be interesting to see what will be selected after HF21.
The age-old rule still applies. If you want to be in control, having some SP is key.
I can’t bring myself to vote any trash even if it’s going to get a lot of votes. One overlooked took in this game is resteeming, by the way.
