I write my own content, every time and always. I have been curating the feed and I am flabergasted by the amount of machine generated garbage out there.
I’ve seen one post which was clearly a spell check on a poorly scanned in document. It looks like written English but is in reality just gibberish. This scares me because some people have upvoted it. It is galling as a writer to have my crafted content apparently worth less than utter shit.
Curation is important, it will save this platform from becoming a sewer of reposted porn and random words thrown on screen.
I am not demanding more recognition for my efforts, that would be nice, that will come in time when people attune to my voice and idiom. I am demanding that people curate properly, this is vital to keep the worthiness of STEEM.
Keep sharp, curate wisely and lets get rid of the rubbish.
The photo is of my own hand after sailing across the North Sea. My efforts are real and my experiences hard gained - I don’t want them squandered.
