As you may know i was absent for quite a while. During this time a lot of things happened with the most important one being the new Hardfork. That's why i had to read a bunch of posts explaining what's the aftermath and generally speaking what changed!

Now, i am not a person that pays a lot of attention to the tech oriented stuff because probably i won't even understand half of it, so i focus on more to "the point" matters. What caught my eye literally in every single hardfork related post was that everyone was talking about the curation and how the new implementations are for the best.

Apparently, the rewards for each post changed from 75/25 to 50/50 leading people to stop using bots (thank god) and start digging into the pile of new everyday posts to "invest" their upvotes. In other words manual curation is back on track! 

Everyone now seems to be about quality again, whole curation teams and trails focus on manual curation as well as big players like orcas and whales. Also, the period which we can vote to maximize our rewards changed from 15 minutes to 5. That means no more endless tabs waiting for those 15 minutes to pass or simply for those who use autoving services just change it to 5 minutes!

As someone who likes to do everything manually i am really excited with this sudden turn. I don't know where this will end up but what i know is that more quality posts will be rewarded for their efforts, more quality authors will be discovered and stronger relationships due to interaction will be formed!

As per my new curation goals i was referring to my title i will inform you shortly, don't be impatient. Yesterday, i unfollowed a couple of accounts due to inactivity or because i realized we had no interaction whatsoever. That was the first wave of destruction that costed roughly 50-60 lives. :P From hmm ... i think 169 followers i am down to 119 and as i see it, in the next few days the number will drop even more to 100! (i am a killing machine :P)

At first i thought to just make a post asking my other active followers and i dare to say friends to suggest me other people to follow. While this is a great idea that i have done in the past and proved successful, i think due to the new hardfork i will change my way! 

What i am going to do is just searching and curating new and interesting posts. Sadly, because my vote now isn't worth that much (0.02$ with close to 100% of my voting power) and i already have a bunch of active people that i follow, i will search and upvote a minimum of 2 new posts per day+ they will receive my unique comments! Given how much voting power i have left i may cast more votes or maybe i will be so fascinated by these new authors that i'll find and increase once again the list of people that i follow. Who knows?
