There is a wealth of knowledge and creativity on Steemit, but it is only sporadically seen and rewarded (lack of visibility, wrong or no hashtags and... being disliked by curators). Those who are truly passionate are more likely to be ignored than appreciated, and after two months of True Colours, the question remains why this is the case, and why this platform does not take advantage of it to step into the spotlight with something unique, that could even attract investors.

Artists are creative and need space to express themselves. It doesn't matter whether they paint, sculpt, model, draw, compose music or write. Many of them have a wealth of life experiences and fantastic things to share. Let us be proud that they want to share what has sprung from their minds with Steemit and are even willing to show the process.

There appears to have been a decrease in comment activity in certain user groups, possibly due to their context. Let's encourage everyone to comment and contribute through their meaningful feedback and reward more.

Is it possible that Steemit would implement some measures to regulate all the spam and repetitive, artificially generated content that is published and rewarded, especially outside of communities.

It would be good to advice users who expect to receive support to maintain a certain regularity in their posts and comments, and also to refrain from using AI, as this immediately disqualifies them from that possibility.

If it comes to the use of any tool to improve writing style and translation of the own ideas, it should be understood that it will not pass AI checks and therefor will be questioned or rejected. Let's trust in our own abilities and develop them every day, cutting dependence on those tools.

Hereby our last three nominations of February 2026.
May you all be well.

NOMINATIONS

Nomination 1
Author: @fajrularifst
Post
Hashtag: story
Country: Indonesia
Nominated by: wakeupkitty

This story is already normal for some and will be the future for many. No longer being present at work, but instead in a café or at home, where the internet can be shared and travel costs saved. It might take some getting used to, but with a bit of ingenuity, anything is possible.. I had a good laugh, I hope you will too.

"Mr Secretary was silent for a long time; a long-haired barista walked past me and shouted, “THE CHANGE IS SHORT BY TWO THOUSAND, SIR! WANT TO EXCHANGE IT FOR CANDY?!” ​I turned off the camera, closed my laptop, and glanced at my wet pants."

Nomination 2

Hashtag: creativewriting
Country: Venezuela
Nominated by: blessedlife

Micro stories are short, but a dose of creativity and a certain way of thinking is needed to be able to write them. Not familiar with this competition yet? Then take a look and consider whether you can write three stories with, in this case, the picture prompt: clown.

*After 10 years of marriage, he left, only telling me he was a clown, but he forgot to tell me where I was supposed to laugh."

Nomination 3
Artist Commenter: offgridlife
Comment
Hashtag: artonsteemit
Country: Canada
Nominated by: wakeupkitty

The confusion remains regarding whether or not to promote Steemit, and in what way. And how is it that when one's own creation is also visible elsewhere, it is suddenly labelled as plagiarism? Is this because AI came up with it?

"I am an Artist, a Filmmaker, a Musician, and I share my work and promote Steemit Everywhere. YouTube, Instagram, X, Blurt.blog, Blurt.media SportsTalkSocial.com / HiveMe.me , etc etc etc. If we only post our Work on Steemit, only people on Steemit will ever learn about Steemit. Is this what Steemit wants? To live in a Vacuum?"
