My work for ThisIsAwesome has helped me to "see" a lot of issues that we have on the platform, and I don't mean only on CTPTalk, but also the Hive in general... I was already talked about some of the issues and how to solve them... But... All the time, I was aware of the problem of low rewards for some great posts, and a poor exposure that they are getting...
Sometimes, the problem is in the titles, or thumbnails of the posts, and that can be solved by raising awareness of those two important things... But sometimes, it is just a problem of too many posts, where some great posts got lost in the swarm...
If you add to all this the problem that newcomers have when they come to the platform, the mess gets even worse... When we are longer in the community, we tend to watch/read stuff from our friends daily, which is normal... But, doing that, we very often forget to "give a chance" to someone who has just come to our community, and we skip their content, without even looking...
That can be fatal for the newcomer as it can de-motivate it to continue posting, and finally, leave our tribe...
These things are happening regularly in all tribes on Hive, and Hive in general... If we take a deeper look, we will notice that some people aren't here with us anymore... Maybe because of personal reasons, but some of them because of the reasons that I have mentioned before...
As I do manual curation of the majority of the post on the CTPTalk, I saw a lot of posts that are great but have like 4-5 upvotes in total... Picking them for ThisIsAwesome helps a bit to raise awareness, but I think that upvoting them with the curation trail would be even more effective, motivating, and encouraging for the authors...
That was one of the main reasons why I have created the CTP Curation Trail... It is specifically created for upvoting CTPTalk content ONLY (posts using "ctp" tag), and it will benefit not only the authors on the platform but also the curators who want to grow their CTP tokens through curation...
I just want to make a statement that all curation is done manually by me, which means that I read/watch the majority of the posts that are upvoted... That guarantees that ONLY the quality posts will be upvoted with a higher percentage! By doing that, I think that all of us can "profit" as more valuable posts will be visible, and by consuming them, we will grow faster...
Also, another effect should be that people will see that we appreciate QUALITY before just "friendly-circle-upvoting"...
I hope that you will like the idea and follow the trail. You can do that by logging in on the https://hive.vote/ website, clicking on the CURATION TRAIL menu on the left sidebar, and searching for a trail named "ph1102.ctptrail" (without @) (or click here https://hive.vote/dash.php?trail=ph1102.ctptrail), and follow it... I will create a tutorial soon for easier understanding...
I have recorded the video 2 days ago, and I didn't think that I will set up all this so fast... I was too excited to prolonged it more, so ignore the part where I'm saying that I will give you more details in the next posts... :) The CTP Trail is ready, and I have used it for upvoting in the last 24-48 hours... The account name is
PS. I know that 
Thank you for your valuable time,
