RE: Steemit has problems. I have The Grand Solution.
A good proposal. Without profitable business solution, curation will never get big attention and lure of voring bot will always persist.
I was proposing the similar ideas to @minnowbooster, @buildawhlae and @bellyrub for eons while they got millions of SP from whales.
One more request, since you have worked on these curation projects ( @curie, @steemstem and @ocd). Can you make a post, how users (new) can use (get benefit from) these services? How do they work? How to get their attention? All these curation site does not have wikis on their profile. Yes, it is possible to do a research and reading (searching) old posts. But it will be easier for someone like you, who already have great experience with them.
Can you kindly make a big post about those curators and provide a link in your profile (perhaps) to help us all?
you mean doing the right thing doesn't pay as well?
being a schill is more profitable?
it has always been this way, doing what is right is usually less exciting, but always better for the long run.
unfortunately I'm set to leave OCD because I'm about to start full time work and I can't handle the workload of all these AND my own posts. Regardless, I don't really have the reach or influence for a post to be 'big'. this post has a huge discussion going on but even that has gotten less than half the payout of bigger users posting photos of their garden or something.
Each individual team have their own way of getting their names heard: OCD post daily and comment on every post they curate, steemstem have comment pictures on upvotes posts or posts that need advice/improvement also they post weekly content for the purpose of recognition of other users etc.
Curie is just so huge that everybody knows it. There's not really much I can add to that!
