First of all, we would like to thank the Steemit Team for choosing us first up and congratulate them on this amazing success of the monthly curation teams. Issues come and go but we always keep working hard and try our best to facilitate the steemians as much as possible.

In the last 7 weeks or so, We reviewed the posts with several hashtags ( #food #travel #sport #lifestyle #health #garden), occasionally checking other tags related to that topics. We checked every post before upvoting, making sure that the user is at least in club5050, the post is plagiarism-free and steemexclusive. Upvote percentage depends on the curator - everyone has the freedom in making the decision on how much VP they want to use in a single upvote, but the total VP has to reach exactly 81% at the end of the shift. Shifts starts every 23,5h and are designed in a way that allows all the members to upvote the publications in a reasonable time (not before 10 am and not after midnight) in their time zones. That way we make sure the maximum of the VP is used. More about the way how we work HERE

In the last 4 days, we upvoted 72 posts:

Club status	Count
Club5050	44
Club75	19
Club100	9

We are trying to distribute the votes between different nationalities:

Country	Count	Country	Count
Venezuela	36	Mauritius	2
Indonesia	13	Colombia	1
Argentina	5	Japan	1
Nigeria	4	Pakistan	1
Turkey	4	Philippines	1

We also make sure, that the steemcurator account is not used exclusively in one or two communities, trying to visit as many communities as possible:

Community	Count	Community	Count

SteemFoods	9	Steemsports	1

Comunidad Latina	5	Steemit Philippines	1

by @sailawana	link to post @ponpase says: "This user is showing the perfect example of steem promotion by portraying different shirt designs and on masks too. I enjoyed reading the post and believe that such good work shall receive recognition. "

SInce this is our last report as a team, i observed there are a few improvements members can do while posting in these tags.

Conclusion and Remarks

Almost all the tags are getting good posts but the tags that we found somewhat less competitive were sports, health and garden. There is not much competition in these tags and steemians can really join these tags and prove themselves. This is the gap that I found during our curation period. I hope the new team will find some better work in these tags. I congratulate the New Lifestyle Team led by @event-horizon and wish them the very best of luck.
