Yes, I remember you commenting on the "quality content" which was one of the topics in the #HHHLive show in the Ecency discord on Wednesday... And we had a talk about that in the show, too! (btw. if you want to check out the complete show, you can find the recordings here)...
In our curation, the main idea is to keep it the most possible "independent", without prejudice about the stake, token ownership, etc... So, the main accent isn't on finding the Pulitzer prize-winning posts every day, but on distributing rewards to different people, from different communities, not checking their number of X tokens, their badges, tribes, etc.
Thanks for the comment!
Hmm, I don't know what the content has to do with how many tokens or stakes someone has. Manual curation is always about how you personally feel about a piece of content. And there are big cultural differences between what I like and what someone else likes from a completely different part of the world. That's why Ecency has curators who are very different from each other and who make completely independent judgments about which posts deserve a boost and which don't. Let's say it's kind of decentralized. But there has to be a minimum, of course.
I'm glad that we share the same vision... We are only 4 curators at the moment, but as our stake grows, we will grow our team...
