@slobberchops does that mean you will be doing manual curation for poetry and fiction as well? I was honestly thinking of quitting to write stories but perhaps there is some hope after all. It just seems that everyone is focusing on the NEW people on steemit and the people that has been here for three years are not being noticed anymore except if you have friends in high places....also I see no reason to build a reputation anymore. Steemit is the place where you work the hardest and get the least rewards....
