RE: Portraits of three gods in Sansingak
I'm sorry if I offended you by saying "you guys"
I downvoted c-cubed's post once seven days ago. (And It wasn't relevant to you)
But I don't understand a whole concept of curation project. I thought there was no difference between farming and c-cubed's account. Would you explain why c-cubed account is an innocent project that I should not downvote?
I’m not offended, I’m just not a part of any group - I just downvote what I think is over rewarded.
If you downvoted c-cubed for some other reason than retaliation against myself, then that’s fair. (It was multiple times though) You are entitled to use your downvotes how you like and if that’s the case, I would not call it malicious necessarily (even though the timing seems odd).
C-cubed is a fully manual curation group that is crowd sourced and voluntary. Meaning no one within the project is rewarded for their curation. Everyone is welcome to be a curator, it’s complet open and we curate over 8 different languages,this process allows us to reach more authors.
C-squared is our main account (where we also provide and run a community witness out of pocket) and c-cubed is a selection of the “best” posts brought in from the community that day. We feature them so more people will see them, and they get a larger vote from our C-cubed account. Most go on to get noticed by other larger curation groups or stake holders (which is our goal).
The profits from any posts either go to the featured authors or are powered up to reward authors more. We as founders make nothing, we just donate our time (a lot of it) because we believe in supporting authors and how doing so adds value to STEEM. The same goes for anyone involved with the project.
So while the rewards lately on the featured posts are higher than normal, that’s not from our doing or deals we made.. it’s just people voting it. And I wouldn’t call it farming as that post represents multiple independent individuals spending hours manually curating and then the admin hand select each post featured. Plus it doesn’t go to anyone involved, it just goes back to authors in one way or another.
But again, if your downvote was not for retaliation against myself.. fair enough. I hope I at least explained the project in a way that settled your curiosity. Let me know if you have any other questions.
