Operation Curation Delegation - Daily Compilation Post #4
@ocd 's Daily Compilation Post #4 today highlights five (5) incredible pieces of content created by the Steemit community. These pieces of content were among a batch of content nominated for entry into today's post. The eighteen (18) curators part of @ocd led by @acidyo work hard to identify these pieces on content that haven't gotten the eyeballs and recognition they deserve.
This week was especially tough to narrow the nominations down to the top five you see selected here. The following five pieces of incredible content are the ones that rose to the top today through a voting process designed by @acidyo .
Today, the most voted on piece of content by the curators of @ocd is @perceptualflaws life story titled, "A Thank You To A Friend (my reason for starting to write again)." His story acts as a "digital tombstone" for his friend that passed away last year.
In this absolutely heart-wrenching story, @perceptualflaws describes the memory of his friend in great detail discussing their shared memories, experiences, journeys, and inspirations. This piece of life content might bring a tear or two but it will certainley help any Steemian understand the meaning of the word friendship. Nominated by @gmuxx , check out his story here: https://steemit.com/life/@perceptualflaws/a-thank-you-to-a-friend-my-reason-starting-writing-again
The second nominated (by @anomadsoul ) post today is @irime 's amazing travel article titled: "Mountains, coffee culture and colorful extravagance – Let me introduce my hometown: Xalapa, Mexico (AKA the place from where jalapeno peppers come from!)"
@irime 's comprehensive personal review of her hometown of Xalapa dives in to the history of the region, the culture, and the best things to do while visiting. All the amazing photographs in this article really caught the attention of the curators and how she gracefully intertwines the history and culture of Xalapa using this amazing photographs as backdrops is truly an example of a great piece of content on Steemit.

Just wanted to say I appreciate you including my article on your list (Argentina stuff). It was my fifth long form travel related submission on Steemit and the first to get... I'll go with "recognition".
I think these kind of projects (such as the OCD), which are trying to surface otherwise overlooked quality content are to be applauded. Further on they are excellent indicators of the extent to which Steemit users go to connect, innovate and find ways to make the platform adapt to how they perceive it should be working.
The level of engagement, which can be seen by the sprouting of auxiliary tools (Websites, chats,...) the users are creating and using in order to further their causes on Steemit is something that is practically unheard of when it comes to other social media channels.
It shows tremendous potential for Steemit in terms of mass adoption, while at the same time highlights the numerous user experience aspects of the platform in which it falls short. The main one being ease of finding relevant content for an individual.
With that I especially allude to a newly registered user that is not prepared to devote a significant amount of time to learning about the platform and scouring through the often too similar trending channels.
Imagine the growth of Steemit if it actually had a friendly user interface :)
Hopefully, as the platform gets more popular and adopted by people from other Social Media platforms, Steemit and Steemians themselves will co-evolve ways to make everything a bit more intuitive and approachable. I am only a few weeks on and have given a lot of time to trying to understand things here, but I know many people don't have the time and might be dissuaded to try. I also have been trying to find people with similar interests by googling topics + steemit and many times I find that people seem to have started an account and then drifted away after a few weeks or months. Even though I know there is a huge rush to get on here, if simple issues like these don't get resolved soon, the community might run out of Steemians.
You are spot on buddy with your words. We are just trying to do our part to help this Steemit community grow.
The trends you have noticed are definitely very good indicators for the future of Steemit. I personally am looking forward to more of your content. Keep doing great things :)
So happy my suggestion was selected, a very moving story from @perceptualflaws
Also stoked for @grocko's awesome Martian cyberpunk.
All the 5 mentions are most worthy though, great job team.
@gmuxx I really do appreciate you putting forward my work. You're a top man and a credit to Steemit! I hope you're having a great weekend and thanks a million for all the help you've given myself and others. I'll catch up with you soon my friend.
Woooww amaizing your post..
I like it..
