I have reconvinced my nephew @gremayo (HP 404) after two years of absence on Steemit to go back to the platform under Hive and that is what he did, set up his re-introductory post 9 days ago on Hive and added a tutorial on colored pencil drawing which he did two years back. He used to make digital tutorials back then and had been curated by @curie more than once.
His recent re-introductory post got a reward of about 105 Hives that included OCD´s curation. In my opinion, the art work he posted was perfect in his own efforts but then it was downvoted by some whales and in the end got only 66.85 Hives which is closed to half of the reward gone. When he saw other artists´s works compared to his, he is under the impression that if you do not have connections to some whales above, you won´t make it here.,... he, @gremayo is now frustrated and has been rethinking whether to push through on Hive at all. If you would have the time, please go and see the post here. and we would like to hear your opinion.... Thanks in advance.

Wow. He is even lucky we curated his works DESPITE KNOWING THE FACT THAT IT WAS JUST A REPOST AND THAT IT WAS ALREADY WELL REWARDED 2 YEARS AGO ON STEEM.
HE SAID THAT IT WAS A REPOST IN HIS POSTING.....SO IF YOU KNEW THAT IT WAS A REPOST, WHY DID OCD CURATE IT AT ALL??? HE JUST CAME BACK AFTER TWO YEARS WITH 300 HP AND YOU... AS AN ESTABLISHED ARTIST AND A CURATOR AS WELL.... INSTEAD OF GIVING HIM SOME TIPS ON HOW TO GO ABOUT REPOSTING, YOUR WORDS WERE EVEN INSULTING! WELL MAYBE HE HAS NOT READ PROPER INSTRUCTIONS..... DIDN´T KNOW THE NEW RULES YET, HE JUST CAME BACK TO THE PLATFORM! IS THAT THE WAY TO TREAT YOUR KABABAYAN ???
Exactly what I was saying??? Because we wanted to give him a chance??
I am a very busy woman and I expect him to know things about the platform literally because I know he is your nephew even before mentioning that in this comment.
Just look at your comment above and try to check who is more insulting here.
I don't give a shit about someone's nationality because I'm not a racist. Knowing that he is your nephew I expected you're the one who should guide him. And common sense will tell you you need to engage with the community and make efforts to know about the platform.
Whales have all the right to downvote whoever they want, the same with how we upvote whoever we want. Instead of being grateful for the votes he received on recycled posts, he had the audacity to say that?
Yeah, but the post did not only include the repost of his drawing, it has an introductory post... the step by step was just to show how he works on his drawing... If you found it was not worth it, then you could have just said something. I read about your comment on his last repost... When he asked you to please give him the link of Showcase Sunday,, you didn´t even bother to answer... And yes, here is another NEW post of his on the first days he came back to Hive.

Yep I know. And he should be really grateful for the $60 rewards he got for an intro post and a repost. If you noticed, he is earning WAY WAY more than the other artists in here. He is SO lucky to get those rewards.
I was (personally) insulted only because he just came back after the pump and just reposting content from Steem constantly without contributing new content.
I told you, I am always busy and don't have the time to reply to all comments. If he really want it, he will make an effort to know the answer. He could've asked in Discord servers or just a simple search in the search tab he will find that. Authors need to do the effort and not just post and magically expect people to curate.
They are having a strict lockdown in his place so he couldn´t get any work assignments from his studio. If there is no quarantine, he will not be able to come back to the platform because he lacks the time.. Confinement at home gave him time to engage on Hive and that was the time when Hive had a fork from Steemit.
We have a very strict lockdown here as well. So that means he has now time to creating new content now eh?
Yes he said he has something on the process... but he´s also beginning to get assignments again from the studio.
Dude just left Steem 2 years ago and came back after Hive pump. Then he came back only reposting MOST of his works from Steem. Don’t you think it’s an insult? Yet we never said anything about that cos we want to encourage him to keep posting and hopefully see new works from him, that is why WE curated his works. Why would you even compare yourself to the artists WHO STAYED HERE FOR A LONG TIME AND DID A LOT OF STUFF TO IMPROVE THE PLATFORM? I’m all up to supporting authors but please stop complaining about those. Thanks for telling that straight to my face anyway.
Well, he left Steem because of his job... he has to earn his living. Not everyone is capable of posting everyday when you have a job. He did a new post in the beginning, but he has to adjust himself to the new platform. I know that you are one of the most engaging curators here, but somehow be compassionate to newbies who are trying to make a comback... and besides, if he is well rewarded during his steemit times, that is because he paid those bidbots in order for his work to get noticed by the public. So, where are those curators who were curating good contents?!
Yeah, and that is totally understandable. We don't expect anyone to be here through thick and thin.
I am. Maybe go look at my comments on how I help even the newbies here and you'll see.
UUHHH...... I was the reason why his post got to trending?
Oh really?! Well THANK YOU SO MUCH! It was not trending anymore because it was downvoted.
Then complain to @likwid about the downvote.
Ahhh.. do you think he will bother to reply.... ?
No, but it's not right for you to complain about it here cos I am literally not likwid.
Btw, he not only reposted but had a new art in on the day he came back

Since you have been here the long time, please do the honors of explaining those to your nephew.
Oh yeah, I will surely do that.. salamat sa reminder mo!
With all due respect, the reason I was negative and short with my comment to the other person above me was because this kind of complaining doesn't belong here. Neither you nor him even commented on this artwork but went on to complain about lack of curation and a downvote that no one here can control. If him coming back and sharing his artwork and instantly comparing with other artists to re-consider staying on Hive after being welcomed is not enough then good riddance. This is really disrespectful to the artist here who also happens to be a curator which is the reason to many artists like your nephew being curated in the first place. Your "thanks in advance" tone is not nice, as if we owe him or you anything. Go ask @likwid next time why the downvote.
Well, I am sorry if I caused some interaction here...I know I stepped-over her post but I was simply adding to the thread of the person above you because the topic was about curation. And yeah, that would be interesting to know the reason for the downvote but we as users wouldn´t find out anyway. We normally say "thanks in advance" if we were asking a favor from someone that is why I said "Please" in the beginning of the sentence followed by "if you have the time", it was not an insult.
