[My own curating initiative]
I asked myself that same question. The thing I enjoy most about my experience since I signed onto Steemit, 11 months ago, is the feeling of community I have here. It is not like Facebook. When I scroll through FB I feel like I just wasted my time over one or two "good-to-know" posts. When I scroll through my feed on Steemit, however, I feel engaged by more than just one post. Several posts will catch my interest, and I find it easy to find something I want to read or look at and is deserving of an upvote.
Now that I have a significant amount of vests (~3.4mv) I am able to curate much more than ever before, using my voting power wisely all the time. When I realized that I was posting a lot but always had a lot of voting power leftover I wondered to myself how important was it to use it up? And what level was best to keep it at, or if that mattered. Then I read one of

I had reviewed other user's accounts "curation rewards" and compared them to their "author rewards" as a study over months. I found that the majority of large, vest-holding artists (whom I aspired to be like) made only minimal curation rewards.

I want to be a whale someday, too. And, it's not just that. I want to immerse myself in the poetry community. I want to use my voting power wisely to foster my passion for poetry, here on Steemit. I want to reward my fellow poets for joining in the Poetry Dice Contest and for putting themselves out there and taking a risk. Not only do I upvote poetry I like, but I pledge to use my 100% upvote and resteem on poets who add the "onehumanbasket" tag to their posts.
This is because we are all one big family, here on Steemit. As my Mom says,
When we are not doing "this," what we are doing is limitless..."
"this" > being alive as humans...
I enjoy reading your posts and I want to give back to my community. I also enjoy posting myself and have several projects I am working on, including poetry, art and photography. For a back log of archived posts, click here. Hoping to post more weekly top picks soon. I did not have enough time last week to craft one.
Use the "onehumanbasket" tag to ensure my 100% upvote:
I will be flagging any user who intentionally misuses this tag.
Flagging a post can remove rewards and make this material less visible. Some common reasons to flag:
I curate poetry and posts with the tag #onehumanbasket
