Hmm, is it like that now? The stringent checking. Then a post could gain a substantial reward going over $100, I did remember those times.
I keep hearing people saying it's too hard for what is gained. Thanks for the insight.

It's just the same now on quality control. They work kind of like a 'sales team' in that there are benefits to having high acceptance rates with lots of posts submitted. If you don't do the stringent checks, your acceptance/rejection ratio is going to go down and when it gets to a certain low level you're kicked as a curator. Lol, it's not easy... but the rules and guidelines ensure that only the best stay and it makes it all more streamlined to be able to actually reward the very high quality posts without letting any of the scammers through.
As I might have mentioned in the past I suffer from a chronic illness so I had to stop being a 'power curator'. I was getting serious burn out and in fact getting more ill from pushing myself too hard. If I ever figure how to heal this fckn gut condition which had limited me for 6 years, I'll probably go back to curie curating every week. It was kind of exciting during the bull run as I specialise in creative writing (what I got my degree in) and I found some very high level short story writers and poets on here. I'm still proud that I was the first curie curator who consistently got poetry accepted by curie. But as it's normally such a short form of writing, I had to show in my comment to the reviewers how it was exceptional poetry; adherence to form, sophistication of imagery and poetic techniques such as assonance, rhyme and metre etc. Lol, it was like being back at uni sometimes 😆
