Him and tarazkp are the only ones I read that are up there just cause of ocdb. It's pretty sad that not many more authors use it which would mean the max bid would be lowered and it wouldn't have this big effect on the top author payouts. I'm hoping demand and interest will increase with HF21.
Other than that I recommend checking out the OCD compilation posts, all of the rewards go towards the curators who find the posts.
Thanks, I've never fully figured out what OCD is.
Didn't mean to turn this into promo. :P
OCD? oh that's right another list i'm not on. conspirators everywhere lol.
You mean ocdb? Also you don't post, also you're not called Michael
yes x 3. lol. That other dude is probably loaded from all the gifts that where meant for me ;)
successful squatter! like @steem-engine xD
The post rewards are basically an incentive to find overlooked and good authors of most genres of content. On a daily basis they nominate posts they find, the curators vote from within discord which posts should be featured onto the daily compilation post (some standards and rules), then they get posted with short descriptions and links. The curators get 1 of OCD's daily votes on the comp post where as the rest of the daily votes go to the posts they found.
So basically follow @ocd and open up the posts and you'll find curated content that deserves the votes you're willing to give, the short descriptions help letting you know if there's content you might be genuinely interested in to read more and possibly follow that author which we usually focus on being new but not easy to do with the times.
Lately we've been lacking authors to curate though (no surprises there with current price) so we're looking to adapt a bit and with the coming changes in HF21 it's a good time to take a short break, see what else we can do to help Steem and focus on that until we can go back to fully curating again. Will be posting about some of the changes :soon:.
