I'll continue to create content about Steem for as long as it's useful. It's a good incentive for myself to stay up to date. And who am I kidding, I love doing the research anyway and talking about Steem, for hours if I have too :)

About curation, it's a game imho. Time vs Rewards. Finding the gems take time with more rewards. Taking the easy route saves time and gives you a little less.

It's the same with my Splinterlands choice. I got time back in return for fewer rewards.

Earning STEEM will be tougher too. Blogging about your cat might not cut it anymore unless you are someone like Beyonce. It will be interesting to see what will be selected after HF21.

The age-old rule still applies. If you want to be in control, having some SP is key.
