Greetings, friend @xpilar.
Interesting report on the Steemcurator and Booming support system, which highlights some aspects that should be taken into consideration.
It's important to try to broaden the reach of curation programs as much as possible, provided that users adhere to the Steemiblog team's conditions, such as: not having power-down enabled, not being a bot system, not supporting AI-generated content, among others.
Now, regarding the point raised by @alejos7ven, last month there were two active Booming accounts supporting games, and one Booming account supporting posts about Steem Atlas. This attracts versatile users who want to publish on these topics to increase their chances of earning rewards. Given the limited number of posts, some curators feel obligated to support them continuously, although not with the same percentage of votes. See the following example.
It can be seen that the user received four "booming" votes in a single day, but from three different curation teams. This could be considered efficient from the user's perspective, but deficient from a community standpoint.
One step forward that has been achieved is the unification of curation programs by topic, especially in the Steem gaming field. This means that only one curator account would be needed to cover the support of the entire community participating in that topic. In other words, curators would have a larger number of users to support them during a given period, and distribute them more effectively.
Thanks to this new support method, we can see that during this period, only two of the users who received the most support remained in the top rankings, but their number of votes decreased by one per day.
It is important to emphasize that as a curator, users should not be omitted simply because they have participated consistently, as long as they maintain an acceptable level of quality in their posts. However, efforts should be made to reach more users.
We hope more users will participate in the activities, so that we can have more options in the selection of content.
I admire this great work, thank you for it.
Thank you @adeljose for the clarification and the examples.
This helps me better understand how the Booming system is working now and also explains some of the patterns I found in the data. My understanding of the community nomination system was outdated.
I also agree that active users should not be excluded simply because they post frequently, as long as the content meets the required quality. The important thing is to give as many users as possible an opportunity to receive support.
Thanks again for adding this valuable information to the discussion.
