Sort:  

the use of the word curation on this platform is largely bastardized. It's more a voting race while other people who take the concept of curation seriously plod along behind to find the real jewels.

Most can be read faster than 15 minutes though. Unless they're really boring. Or long. Or long and boring. Mostly long and boring.

There are other types of quality content that can be reviewed very quickly though. Drawings take a quite a long time to do and can be viewed for quality pretty quickly. Photographs as well.

My point exactly.

Of course many quality posts can't be read in 1 minute, so guessing the real curators will lose out to the in this only for the profit curators.

Without a doubt that would be precisely the case. Yes @practicalthought, very accurate. ;)
