New Steem and New Perspective
Hi Steemian how are you today? I hope you are healthy and creative to work.
After Hard Fork 21/22 ago Steem entered a new phase. The phase in which the birth of a community that has a new vision and perspective.
I will peel about how Steem create new vision, at least in my opinion as a new Steemian who come to feel the events in the old steem and new steem. I want to spread my thought and I want to take a part in this platform together with other Steemian build it as I can. Of course, according to my very limited level of knowledge. At least I can join in giving color or add thought. Who knows, you can take part in the development of Steem in a more intense direction.
Manual Curation
The birth of a new Steem has changed or improved the old Steem. the steemians can already feel the change. We still remember in old Steem how difficult it was for a newbies to get a big curation. Upvote recipients with large values are mostly obtained by Steemian elite. The use of bid bots with large Steem Power only makes it rich for a Steemian group. While the plankton, red fish, minnows only get upvote crumbs with little value.
I still remember how happy and proud it was when I commented and received an upvote from @xpilar, the value was even greater than the reward I got from my post. I also remember when @slowwalker gave an upvote in my post it made me happy too.
After HF 21/22 I felt how something basic had changed. The whales began to transform themselves into manual curators. They no longer use bots. They really have to read the posts so they know the quality. Something in the #oldsteem era was not done or rarely done because of relying on bot services.
#newsteem provides opportunities for newbis to develop better. Quality assurance comes first in every post. I recently felt a part of it when I got a curation from @ocdb which was worth more than $13. Something that was never imagined to receive such a reward. Previously, I also felt happy when there was a curation from @upmewhale.
But now I am more confident that I will be able to grow and develop in Steem well.
This makes me want to motivate other new Steemians to not hesitate to work consistently and prioritize quality. We know that out there many people pay attention to us. We sharpen the diamond that is in us until the sparkle will be seen by the curators. So they will come and bring gifts to us, in the form of happy upvotes and curation.
Social Value
In my view, after HF 21/22 there is growing awareness of sharing. The whales who used to be more considered to prioritize the income side, are now shifting. They began to provide opportunities for newbies to develop by curation. Curators are more active in their work. Read one post at a time and rate it worth getting curated. This means they are giving social value to help other steemian growth. The great thing is that they start inviting or calling on whales who have not been active in manual curation to take part. Sekusipusaya also saw that a lot of big Steemians have given more social value since old steem until now. One example is @xpilar. With the support of his team they were able to elevate Steemian economic life. I noted that @sultan-aceh could even build a new house with the help of @xpilar teams such as @reflector, @bippe, @davidad and @hingsten. At #newsteem more and more social values can be felt.
Especially if we read a post from @anomadsoul that also invites all whale to be involved in the development of curation not just from the economic side. He ask to whale to change pattern of votting. This is a very good thing. Although, we also know that every Steemian certainly hopes there is more economic value when joining STeem. For further information, we can check the following link
