RE: True Colours 11: Curation Report - BOOMING03 - Week 5
Congratulations to the nominees @gemamedina and @marcotexeira.
I like to thank everyone for the good reads and talks.
Thank you @solperez for making the report and the end report where the issues we found during our curation time are listed.
🍀❤️
Thank you @wakeupkitty for selecting my comment and for giving visibility to this reflection.
I truly believe that one of Steemit's strengths is the diversity of what people create here. Photography, writing, art and other forms of creative expression do not necessarily communicate in the same way, and perhaps they should not always be discovered or evaluated in exactly the same way either. Cheers :)
You’re absolutely right. And that’s precisely why I’m bringing this up – and why I actually believe there should be curators who specialise in the various themes and therefore know what they’re talking about.
The new curators, the ones starting in October, are free to choose what they vote for, but of course that means we lose the big picture and you can’t be sure that everyone gets a fair go. Let’s be honest: if there are only one or two curators amongst the 15 teams who focus exclusively on art and creative people, that means there won’t be many votes for .... Unlike, for example, thediarygame, where many people vote simply out of convenience.
Perhaps you’d like to take part in my new competition? I think it fits perfectly with what you’ve just described. Do have a look and check this out in the comments section too.

Thanks for your comment; I think it’s worth sharing and nominating, especially as you’ve provided figures, and those are certainly not unimportant.
There are far more votes than there are posts written, or good posts to vote for. So in that respect, the percentage of votes can go up regardless of whether it’s a short piece, a long piece, photography, music, art or a comment.
A super weekend!
I agree that having curators with knowledge and genuine interest in different creative areas can make a real difference, particularly when evaluating content such as photography, art or music.
Your point about the number of votes available compared with the amount of good content is also very interesting. Perhaps there is indeed room to give stronger recognition to quality and creativity when they are found.
And thank you for the invitation to your “Be Yourself” contest. I will definitely take a closer look at it and give some thought to participating.
Have a great weekend too!
It is always a pleasure to work with people who inspire us to be better every day, in every way. Warm regards.
Siempre es grato trabajar con personas que nos inspiren a ser cada día mejores, en todos los sentidos. Un abrazo.
Muchas gracias, @wakeupkitty. Es un honor para mí estar en este cuadro de nominados. Saludos cordiales.
