I think it is high time to make changes that are important for manual curators. My fifth birthday will be in July. From the very beginning, I am a manual curator of content written in Polish. I have to admit that I had moments of doubting Hive and now I'm in that time of doubting as well. My activity has dropped. Some time ago, every day I found good posts in Polish, to which I could gladly devote all my voting power. Now, the content is scarce and unfortunately some of it is so bad that I can't imagine anyone wanting to show it to their friends or anyone outside of the Hive community. But still, such content often has quite a lot of votes. I don't know if it's some kind of social arrangements (vote for vote), social poolrape (voting for everything that arises in "our mutual adoration circle") or maybe just automatic voting without personal evaluation of the content. However, I admit that it discourages me from manually voting as well as from spending time on Hive.

So - new hope. :)
