This is the thing I feel with every update, I even mentioned it a few times.
It would be good to have a few realistic numbers or something to rely on.
Something that tells the people: there are around 70 upvoted posts daily in this category with 100 contributions. You have very good chances to get an upvote if your content follows the guidelines, etc..
But like with every update: just steem on and everything will be fine I guess ;)
Hey @mwfiae
Our CMO @techslut is working on a new format which every week will expose the Staff Picks and some stats about number of received and voted contributions :)
So just stay tuned. We are planning to kickstart it anytime soon, if not this week, the one after.
