You and I already know that only curators can force authors to check their texts and improve the quality of publications. Therefore, it all boils down to the question of what the curators are voting for. This, of course, does not apply to those authors who do not care what their readers read. There are few such authors and they came here not so much for rewards as for an audience.
The development of local curatorial accounts also has a positive impact. Here I can give an example of a small Ukrainian community. Most authors write their diaries here and share their experiences with a small group of regular readers. None of them try to translate it and publish automatic translations. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the community has a relatively powerful curator account, which is able to reward authors with a sum of just over $1.
