For Those Who Do Not Receive Support From Steemcurator

A little Introduction

You may have noticed that the Steemit team recently announced the winning teams that will be curating the content in February using steemcurator04-08 accounts. I am part of one of the winning teams. In our team, we agreed that each of the participants will be engaged in curation for one day. My day is Saturday. Since I didn't know if I would be able to access my SC account today, I decided to find a few posts that were worth supporting just in case.

The Most Popular Question

If you have ever reviewed the results of steemcurator01 with https://steemworld.org/, you have seen numerous comments asking "Why don't you support me?" Similarly, I, wandering through various posts, often come across comments with complaints that steemcurator supports only a certain circle of authors, ignoring others.

Often the authors do not follow the basic rules, and then are surprised by the lack of support.

My Observations

In preparation for a possible job as a curator, I looked for posts that I could support. My subject Lifestyle. I started browsing the latest posts by tag #travel, #sport, #garden, and more.

First, I found a great post. I checked it for plagiarism, the text was unique. The author used the tag # club5050, I checked, it turned out that in fact the author withdraw 100% of the money earned on cryptocurrency exchanges.

I continued my search. The next two great posts, despite the #steemexclusive tag, were published on Hive.

Then I came across a few posts whose authors use bid bots. Such posts are also not supported by steemcurator.

Then there were posts that consisted of one or more photos of chickens, grass, roads, buckets (!) and other not very interesting things, posts that consisted of a few words, posts whose authors spent no more than two minutes to create them.

I looked through 32 posts, checked them for plagiarism and #club5050, but did not find any worthy support. It was a shock to me. Then I realized how difficult the work of a steemcurator is.

Then I changed my approach. I chose two posts from our community because most of the authors here are already well known to me. Then I visited the Steem-Travelers community. It is very convenient to choose posts there, because the moderators check them for uniqueness and belonging to # club5050, and the test results are written in the comments. Then I visited the community of Steem Skillshare, Steemit-Garden, etc. Finally, after spending another three hours, I found 8 posts that I would support if I had access to the steemcurator account.

Checklist

So, before you flood the steemcuratot with questions, "Why don't I get support", check yourself:

Did I make an effort to create a post?
Did I try to convey something to the reader (whether it is a text or a photo)?
Did I try to write a good post?
Isn't my post plagiarized?

If you have done all this, you already have a chance to get support from steemcurator. But to increase these chances, we continue to test ourselves:

Am I in # club5050 or higher?
Do I publish my post only on Steemit?
Did I use the #club and #steemexclusive tags?

If you have successfully passed this checklist, then you can be sure that you deserve the support of steemcurator. Sooner or later you will be noticed.
