Probably the only way you'll see this post if you visit my profile. If you're expecting a "I vote quality content" cliche, you'll be semi-disappointed. I've been appointed as a cine curator in good faith, and I intend to use the privilege to honor that.
As an appreciator of Cinema, I love it when people talk about them and as a human being I love interaction. And a post that ensures those two points is a quality post. Super simple right?
However, there are several points I'd like to make that I believe breach those conditions.
1 - A massive post with a whooping 3000+ words is very dissuading. In most cases, they contain all sorts of unimportant information like how much money the film made. Who are these posts targeted at? There is no point in amassing whatever information you've collected from the internet and translating them to multiple languages. These posts do not impress me, rather I feel irritation and discontent.
It is more important to put in your personal input, rather than extending the articles with garbage. As Werner Herzog said, "We're not garbage collectors."
2 - Writing the whole plot of a film is NOT REVIEWING IT. If I want to know about the story, I can just bring up the wikipedia page and look through it and chances are I will be met with better diction and grammar.
Not only will I avoid voting on such meaningless posts, I might downvote as well as I disagree with the reward.
Writing the plot can be necessary a support point for your article. But only as that and also avoiding major spoilers. I do not care for spoilers but since this is a community platform and the goal is to increase interaction, people will read these articles, some will surely complain that you've ruined the movie for them.
3 - I want to read more about what the user liked about the film and what they disliked. Their expectations and disappointments. What other things the film reminded them of, how do they associate the themes and philosophy used in it. About their favorite scene from the film (or the one they hate). Heck, even having a crush on the super cute actor/actress and mentioning is totally alright and has a humane touch to it!
I'm not advising these as "must fill options", rather, a general idea of what I expect as a film enthusiast.
There's no need to make the article "professional looking". Just going about it as if you're talking with a friend about a film is perfectly fine. Be a human being, not an article producing machine.
4 - I don't care for crypto and related news when I browse my cinetv feed, even when the post is somewhat related to cinema. I'm sure there are more suitable communities to talk finance.
And of course there are some general yada yada. Do not try to milk the platform. If you stay social and honest with the community (and I'm talking about the hive ecosystem), the community will stay with you. Do not plagiarise and steal posts written by others, do not think for a second we can't detect abuse.

Love this username and of course this is one of my favorite films of his along with Aguirre, the Wrath of God. I noticed you stopped by my posting. Thanks, I'm slowly taking a look around here and taking it all in.
Lots of film lovers and reviewers. Makes me a little nervous as I realize some people have been doing this for a very long time. Seems a little intimidating but I'll still put my thoughts out there about film or anything else for that matter :)
Yes, I was voting on your post with CINE coin through that account. Wanted to chime in the topic (problems with translations) but something came up. I'll stop by that post soon.
Welcome to Hive. Since you're new, you probably noticed there are a lot of communities and some overlap. But there are also tribes, (they are not only communities but also with their own frontend website and own second layer coin). If you use a tribe, you have the chance to get both hive coin and the tribe coin at the same time.
For example, if you write about music, there's musicforlife tribe and you also get VIBE coin, if you write about finance, there's leofinance tribe and you get LEO coin. All the posts will also be on hive.blog at the same time.
As you probably guessed already, CineTV (https://cinetv.io) is a tribe for films and shows and all of the motion picture as a whole. It's a pretty new one,only a couple months old.
However, whether you use a tribe or not, which community or not, these are entirely up to you. You can check for all of your coins on hive-engine.com at any rate.
P.S. I love and am grateful to Werner Herzog for many reasons, seen about 20 of his films and wanted to have fitzcarrado as a curation account, as the film represents an impossible feat overcome by the dreamer. Aguirre is a favorite too. Along with Kasper Hauser, Nosferatu, Stroszek. Perhaps my most favorite Herzog film is Lessons of Darkness. Intensely beautiful!
And don't worry about the existing "reviewers", you'll pretty soon realize why's that.
