RE: Steemit Update [September 21st, 2026] : Community Curators for October - Trying Something Old!
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con esto. Y, de hecho, esto debería ser obvio.
Sin duda, depende del equipo, de la cantidad de trabajo que dediquen algunos curadores, o de si un voto positivo es realmente una recompensa por todo ese trabajo. En el caso de @solperez y de mí, no creo que lo sea.
Los votos positivos que recibo ni siquiera equivalen al salario de una hora, ni siquiera al de 30 minutos, y estoy bastante seguro de que soy quien invierte más horas en los demás y también quien escribe más comentarios y consejos. ¡Y cuando digo horas, me refiero a días que a veces llegan a las 12 horas!
En las comunidades que frecuentamos, solo he visto a otro equipo de curadores de manera esporádica en dos comunidades. Y de los votos positivos que dieron, un equipo le dio uno a una persona conocida o a un compatriota (las otras publicaciones fueron ignoradas invariablemente, y esto sucedió más de una vez).
Solo he visto a otro SC dar un breve consejo a alguien en otra comunidad junto con un voto positivo en tres ocasiones.
I completely agree with this. And this should actually go without saying.
It certainly depends on the team, the amount of work some curators put in, or whether an upvote is actually a reward for all that work. In the case of @solperez and myself, I don’t think it is.
The upvotes I receive don’t even amount to an hour’s pay, not even 30 minutes’ pay, and I’m quite sure I’m the one who invests the most hours in others and also writes the most comments and tips. And by hours, I mean days of sometimes as many as 12 hours!
In the communities we frequent, I’ve only ever seen another curator team sporadically in two communities. And of the upvotes they gave, one team gave one to a well-known figure or fellow countryman (the other posts were invariably ignored, and this happened more than once).
I’ve only seen another SC give a brief tip to someone in another community alongside an upvote on three occasions.

Your proposal is very interesting, @dove11. However, it strikes me as too "elitist." I wonder: when you were given the opportunity to grow as quickly and extensively as you have, did you encounter as many "obstacles" as the ones you're proposing? Personally, I don't think so.
But perhaps now, looking back at everything you've achieved in four years, you feel that we can all do exactly what you’ve done.
For my part, I’ll say that I have NEVER been stingy with anyone. I enjoy working, and I don't like taking "shortcuts" to reach my goals.
I’ve been on the platform for eight years. I have an SP of 25,000. I don't belong to any club; I stopped being a member when I saw that users earning more than I was weren't in one either. I’m a retired university professor, and sometimes I don't have the money to buy a coffee, so I exchange some of what I’ve "earned here" to buy one. I have NEVER powered down.
Honesty isn't about numbers; it's about attitude.
I’ll leave it at that for now. The power is out, and my UPS is already beeping.
Thanks Professor @solperez for your statement and feeling like I've gotten this far with someone's help. I've also quit being in a club for a few months and have withdrawn about 13,000 Steem since Steem price dropped below 5 cents even if I have not used it but trading with it.
Yes, it's true that I haven't worked on this site much in the past year since my final retirement, but do you think I'm growing by someone's grace? If this proposal seems too "elitist" to you, I'm not surprised, because everyone feels that way, and this was just a proposal that wasn't accepted.
As far as my opportunity to grow quickly and extensively, you understand I haven't faced any "obstacles" since I'm not from a favored country like you. If you think I'm taking shortcuts, have you seen my name in any curator's weekly report, you also included?
And if I can do this without any dishonesty, then you could probably have achieved this in three years. I'm a professional who believes in smart work, not hard work. Otherwise, how would I handle such big projects offline? Yes, any professional who is used to working smart and taking initiative can do this. You can do what I have done. I have worked n more than 20 Indian states and 10 other countries.
Do you think I came to this site to earn money? The amount of money I have earned in four years is not even my offline salary for 15 days, If you tell me even one of my shortcuts, I'll stop working on the site today.
You say honesty isn't about numbers; it's about attitude. And I say everything counts, numbers, etiquette, ethics, and more. But I can only say despite writing only one post a day, I write where it matters, and it rarely gets any votes from any curator. Tell me, as a curator, how many votes have you given me?
You are right, I have seen your comments last year or even before when you disagreed with someone and had a long conversation. The success lies in honesty and ethics plus smart work that I am trained to do. You said you are a professor, for your information, I am an engineer, masters in management and business administration and masters in welding technology with over 40 years experience of corporate and Indian army projecta so it all helps to achieve my goals besides my 25+ years experience in writing online.
So, Professor, success isn't about hard work or time, but about doing things systematically. For your information, I'm much older than you, so I hope you don't misinterpret what I'm saying. Have a nice time.
I’m sorry you misunderstood my comment; what I meant was that perhaps your offline experience allowed you to grow here and sustain your membership in a club—an experience most of us here don't share.
On the other hand, what you’ve achieved in four years, I haven’t come close to reaching in eight. But obviously, the question isn't "Why did you rise so high while I didn't?" but rather, "Do you think someone without your financial cushion can afford to stay in a club long enough to qualify for a curation team?"
I should mention that whenever I’ve worked on a curation team, I try to nominate talented people who don't receive much financial support.
From my perspective, you are very talented, but you have received financial support. That is why I have NEVER nominated you. I don't mean to imply that the support you receive is the result of taking "shortcuts," nor do I think it's just luck. You simply know how to get things done.
Also, I’ve read that your proposal isn't new—it’s actually an "old" idea. The question I ask myself is: What didn't work before, and what will be done differently now to make the project succeed?
I apologize if my previous message was open to misinterpretation. I was without power, my UPS battery was running out, and I just wrote everything in a rush.
I’m not a troublemaker. I detest injustice and always try to put myself in others' shoes. Best regards.
I think it was the lack of ethics among some high-performing users—there was a lot of abuse regarding vote distribution. It was almost routine to see reports about this from The-gorilla, or even from me.
¿Y crees que ahora el problema de la falta de ética ha disminuido?
La verdad es que hacen falta personas como "El gorila" y como @aneukpineung78 que presentaba unas estadísticas muy interesantes.
Te pregunto:
¿Conviene desenmascarar a los usuarios carentes de ética?
And do you think the problem of a lack of ethics has diminished now?
The truth is, we need people like "El gorila" and @aneukpineung78, who presented some very interesting statistics.
Let me ask you:
Is it worth unmasking users who lack ethics?
Claro que no, de hecho creo que los que no tienen etica, están ganando terrenos.
Si, pero de manera interna, aunque personalmente me he tomado a la tarea de desenmascarar publicamente a muchos usuarios, algunos con mucha influencia.
Your message is as sincere as it is disheartening.
I have no desire to become a "witch hunter." However, perhaps I should provide evidence of unethical conduct for your internal use—after all, as my mother used to say: "Silence is also complicity."
Tu mensaje es tan sincero, como desalentador.
No deseo convertirme en "cazadora de brujas". Pero, tal vez que pase pruebas de conductas anti-éticas para que las utilices de manera interna, pues como decía mi mamá: "El silencio es también complicidad".
Muchos pueden ver mal el hecho de desenmascarar a alguien, pero es la unica manera de frenar sus malas acciones, esas que afectan el entorno en el que convivimos diariamente.
A mi modo de pensar, Steemit es una empresa de la que somos accionistas, por eso, debemos velar por su bienestar.
Agradecemos cualquier apoyo que nos lleve a aclarar cualquier situación de abuso.
Have a coffee on us @solperez.
You do great work on the platform, especially with your contests.
Many thanks, Steemcurator01; I’ll have my coffee in your honor. Thank you for supporting me with the Art and Writing contest. That space is very valuable to me.
Thank you for the invite, but do you know there so many more comments which could up toes? I mainly see unuovotrd ones. Shouldn't those writers be rewarded? It feels a bit said this test already died before it started.
I wish you a good week.
Blessed be.
I endorse your words.
Hello @steemitblog and Steemit Team!
It is truly encouraging to see the team actively listening to community feedback and experimenting with individual curator applications for October. This approach will surely bring fresh perspectives and ensure curation reaches a wider variety of deserving creators across different communities.
Thank you for your continuous support and for keeping the platform dynamic!
