RE: CLOSED - use v2.0 now The HumanBot Curator Incubator | Link Drop | Original Works Verifier v1.0.1

no worries, I appreciate your effort. I will work my way through the submissions eventually, but I am taking a break for tonight. I am a bit behind.

Like I said previously I would actually advise submitting fewer links here, and instead focusing on really making sure they are quality and the author is quality. Make sure you look at the author's blog. I would never submit a post without first considering other posts the author has written - warning signs to look for include:

  • too frequent posting (anyone actually writing the articles themselves won't post more than 1 or 2 articles, max, per day - maybe a few more if some are just short, couple sentence posts, or memes, etc.)
  • posting multiple detailed articles at the same time
  • posting on an extremely wide variety of topics (art! sports! programming! crypto! fashion! cooking! - and all supposedly by a 17 year old guy that is into video games...)
  • Posts that don't make sense considering things you know about the author (e.g. the author in introduceyourself post says they speak terrible English and the introduceyourself post is written in broken English, then they post articles all well written; or post author has said they live in one country previously and article refers to another country as home; or post author is male and article refers to author as female; etc.).
  • The author clearly writes in a different style in the comments as in the article, e.g. the article is written in a formal scientific tone and the poster in the comments uses slang and broken English

Hope this helps

Also keep an eye out for mangled sentences like the one I pointed out above that are dead giveaways for an article translated from another language by a translation software.
