I have no problem finding newcomers to hive, and I don't use any tags to find them. The reason I seek them out is to delegate Low HP, not to curate. What's the difference between delegating and curating you may ask ? Well when you delegate to newcomers you give them an opportunity to have a good start on the platform with no reward. Curation is plain and simple, you vote and you expect to get a reward.

curation lies in discovering undiscovered content and new authors.

Really, it sounds like newcomers are unique to curators alone, thankfully this is not the case as there are communities out there that take them under their wing where they get the proper exposure they deserve.

Feel free to leave any time, I'm sure you will be missed .... by ....
