Top 5 Blurt content-creators for lazy curators like me
I'm one of Blurt's biggest curators, but with health issues and young children, I don't always have hours to spend pouring over content. During 2024 I switched to a "lazy" curation style that still identifies and rewards quality original content, but doesn't take much effort. They get regular income, and I get somewhere to dispense my 10 upvotes per day. Here are my criteria:
- Blurt users who consistently make at least 2 posts per week and engage with the community in comments.
- Every post contains good quality original content written at least half in English.
I have nothing against users who post less than twice per week, or who don't really interact much with the Blurt community, or who use non-original content, or who post without English. I often curate content from such users. But they don't necessarily always get an automatic 100% upvote from me, the way the following users currently do:
His photography is very aesthetic, with very professional-sounding writeups. Much of his content is from Thailand and Australia and features landscapes, nature, architecture, and family.
Ray's posts feature a variety of subjects and tend to be half Spanish. His family is from Venezuela, and has lived recently in Chile, but he is currently on the move. His content is hand-written and usually includes images either from the internet or from his phone.
This Thai lady enjoys visiting local tourist spots in cute outfits, and photographing herself enjoying treats against impressive backdrops. Her photos are brightly colourful, and her simple writeups are pleasant.
Eric's posts are titled "Actifit", which I usually ignore, but I've come to enjoy his daily contributions. Almost none of his content is actually dedicated to Actifit, and instead he gives a summary of his day, the local weather, the global news headlines, a bit of opinion, and some photos of downtown London.
Her writing is genuine and interesting, with content about life, religion, spirituality, travel, and family. Nianaztengra is from India but also spends time in nearby countries. I sometimes withhold 1/4 or 1/2 of my full vote when her post is short or uses a stock photo, but otherwise give the full 100%.
I'm not always "lazy"! I do fully enjoy their content when I'm able to. But because they never post junk, and always post the kind of content Blurt benefits from, I don't have to. When I need to be lazy, these users are there for me. I often dish out 4 or 5 upvotes like that per day, then manually find other posts (and comments) for the rest. Feel free to follow and support them along with me. Also, provide suggestions for other Blurt users who might fit my criteria, and I'll check them out. Keep up the great creation and curation!
