Where to begin… I’ll begin by directing you to a post of mine titled “why is Steemit so unfair?” Or similar. I’m on my phone so will struggle to link you to it but you’ll find it under the Steemit heading of my profile link.

I’ve always understood the sc01 having favourites. These are the moderators and admins who are here to keep people motivated and engaged. To make people feel welcome and give them a sense of belonging in their respective communities.

The question is: Do they all still do this? Or are many of them bumbling along with the process.

For me, I miss the unpredictability of sc01’s actions. One day, they might be in Venezuela, the next in Nigeria, maybe some sports the day after. Always unpredictable. Always demanding a high level of quality and variety for their attention.

Honestly, I don’t know where the votes are going (I don’t look) but my perception is that it’s Learning Challenges, the POD or sc03-09 recommendations. It feels narrow, especially at a time where my trust in some of the current curators is so low and I don’t believe their selections are getting the scrutiny that they should be.

Over the past 10 months, I’ve had my eyes on the code more than on the community and my own blog. Recently, I’ve made more time to read again and my perception is that the circles of suspicious user have grown and the circle of enjoyable authors has reduced.

I could obviously continue but I’d be rambling too much.
