Agreed entirely! Can't emphasize enough that the whole notion of a SOCIAL content site suggests people interacting with people, not a bunch of bots and scripts running on automatic. The core of Steemit is the 30,000 or so users who actively engage through one of the many front ends every month.
Manual curators are essential. I am — and always have been — one of them.
=^..^=
No wonder there are only 30000 active users... no one supports one another and new users just end up leaving. Don’t get me wrong, I love that I found this place, the people that I have connected with, and that I can blog and make some extra money, but I literally have to do it all myself.
You and I both shall continue manually curating and rewarding others. I look forward to helping you and following your journey now ✊🏻🙏🏼🐱

Thank you for the kind words!
I'm considering taking up a "newcomer of the week" type thing for 2019; pick someone who has posted enough to demonstrate serious intent, but is still only 2-3 weeks in. I did so sporadically, last year... a regular feature might work well. But it would be nice to have something along the lines of what @newbieresteemday was set up to create, too... unfortunately, they've gone quiet.
You are most welcome!
That would be something very good for a lot Minnows. I feel as though many of them lack the confidence to continue forth since there is a disconnect between user interaction and manual curation where the rich just get richer. I wish it wasn’t so, but sadly it is so.
Catch you around @curatorcat
See you... for Meow 😊😊
