OCD DAILY - Issue #169

Welcome to the 169th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #169 highlights content from ten (10) Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steemit to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found you ten (10) amazing pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are provided by newer Steemit users, that may not have the audience which their quality content deserves. @OCD strives to help provide that audience, and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

The nomination process

A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users), within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @ocd team, votes are tallied and the pieces with the most votes are placed into the compilation.

We encourage you to visit these blogs and to show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

If you enjoyed their work give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!

All of the content as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated and valued making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.


The top nomination of the day belongs to @dioncrediblehulk for a detailed blog sharing the journey of getting his traditional tattoo from an indigenous woman. Curated by @jznsamuel, the author shares intricate details including how one can reach Buscalan, the place where he got the tattoo, as well as some background information and details regarding the intricate tattooing process.

I so love "Inside Your Bubble" by @spaceginger discovered by @mrslauren. I'm going to check out both of these folks now.
Uvoted, as usual. Thanks for always seeking out groovy stuff.

Thank you @gniksivart and the OCD team for the nomination. It is groups like yours that truly make a platform like Steemit: unique, wonderful, and caring.

After watching a few of the top tier of YouTube spit all over the little guy by saying nonsense like “these people are the issue and they don’t; otherwise, they be doing better,” to things like “no one can live off making so little in a year.”

I just could not think what was worse YouTube doing this yet again to the same group of people struggling just to see their small reward yank away from them again. Or people they might look up to telling them they are the issue and don’t care. It’s a little strange they think the entire world has such a high cost of living. That the thought someone who was pouring their heart and soul into something just lost a major source of revenue in the country with the very low cost of living was above their ability to think.

Thank you again and keep being amazing!

Thank you so much @ocd and @howtostartablog for selecting and featuring my post. I'm speechless. This is the first time my post was pick up by a big initiative like OCD here in Steemit. Really appreciate it. This is a very big boost and motivation for me to write more and better. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Thank you for the feature and ocd's continued support, I hope you realize just how much impact you have for minnows with your curation work. Great job, you all deserve a steemit medal for your hard work at finding great artists and writers . :)

What photo or article is nice or interesting by @ocd?
