Excellent points in this post. Human curation is, to me, the most important aspect of Steemit right now: the thing it needs most and that which helps everyone bringing quality content to the platform. I'm about to join Curie, having been fortunate enough to have some support from them and make a few friends in the fold, however I would LOVE to see more curation projects succeeding! If only I had a few extra thousand SP to delegate... There are those who do. I hope more of the big-shots choose to share the love and support curation efforts like yours. Steem on, Snekky. I'm with you!
