Curation on steemit is a crucial part of the environment. When I was still new, I got curated couple of times by OCD and Curie project which I think are the biggest and the hottest curation on steemit. When there was a calling to be a curator, I signed myself up. Prior to that, I have read a chatter from a server I know that there was inequality in distributing the curation. I was sick of hearing that and I hope to help the new users with something I could do. Here I am now, being part of the team for about couple of month.

Being part of the team, made me understand that it's a work to filter numerous article from the ocean. There are hundreds of them and that it takes time to read, to filter and to see if they can be featured on the international compilation. I am not one 100% sure of how other curation works, but every curation project has their own generic rules. But when it comes to content, It is based on a curator's judgement.

I put myself outside the box so it doesn't affect my judgement. I spread my nest as far as possible to find content from new users and bring them into an international compilation. I don't care where you live, who you know, what your background are, how much do you have in your wallet, or how influential are you. All I care is what you try to present to the environment.

I think many of curators have already encourage users to create a free plagiarism content. Countless articles have been written yet apparently the value of an article seems to fade away as the monetary value ends. Furthermore, I do not think it's necessary to write the same information all over again, is it too hard to research and read on your own about how a content should be?

I am well aware of fact, not everyone born to be a writer but steemit has given us platform to be an artist, musicians and contribute in any way that we can. With this massive of opportunity, is it still difficult to be original?

How to prove an originality in a simple way?

Let's say, if you are an artist out there, always share your steps of creating your art because people could also try and learn something from that. It is also a reassurance for the curator, that it was made by you and only you. There are also another ways to make sure that the content is yours and only such as having your name signed or a watermark.

Finally, If ever you feel dissatisfied with the curation project that you know, or simply want to create your own curation rules, make it happen. The cold hard truth is that, there is nothing instant and feel free to start from scratch. Let me give you an example of an outstanding curation project that value an old undervalued posts.

The Deadpost Initiative - Share your most undervalued work (SBD prize)

The project is run by Hive account@whatamidoing without a team backing him up. It was started from scratch and that participants participate willingly. The reward wasn't much and earlier posts of him even generate less, to reward the participants. This is an example of self build curation that generates a healthy interaction between its participants. And this is what it should be, writers get feed back not just a generic Good job comment. Say no more, the content that was brought to the table was a five star cuisine that you won't regret to eat. As I previously said, often a content value fades as the monetary too and his initiative is bringing old posts to be still valuable despite the seven days rule.
