This is really good news @ocd! I guess NewSteem is really working and manual curation is increasing more and more! I hang around crypto reddit and crypto twitter and Steem seems to get a bad vibe mainly because of Dan (makes no sense since this is an open, decentralized permissionles project), hope you guys have more luck than I do when trying to get more members to Steem... People only care about Steem when the price is sky high I guess....

I've never been whitelisted by you guys, if you guys do have the time and are accepting new application I would love to know if my content is good enough to be whitelisted :)
