Hey Tim
This is a brilliant list, I've had a good chuckle at a few of your posts, but apparently my sense of humour isn't for everyone - dry humour and sarcasm crack me up, both of which I think you do pretty well at.
Lol at the part about curation trails. Until a few months ago I had no clue how autovotes even worked so you learned a LOT faster than I did. The 50% vibe I think catches many people off-guard, but it makes the system work!
Have a great weekend, glad you got your lawn sorted.
Cheers
In truth, I remember getting my first Curie upvote - it must have been a curator being on at the right time, it happened a few minutes after a post - and I spent hours going down rabbit holes investigating hashtags, assuming the right combination might have triggered the result - so I repeated everything, and got nothing. Took me down many other pathways after that - I've seen the proposal that there needs to be introductory modules on Hive. Basically the concept was, pay people to complete modules - and that gives them their starting hive power balance to be able to engage further. - Otherwise, my life at the moment is hectic, and without time to explore, google, watch tutorials etc - it can all be a little bit too much.
Tim you are clearly very analytical which I think in this platform can drive you nuts. I know because I'm like that too.
I've posted a post that I felt was great and it went nowhere, posted posts that I thought were subpar and they got some of my highest payouts. I'm putting it down to luck of the draw.
These courses and modules that you speak of are in essence a good idea, I think many people get discouraged when they first join because you can do very little with the resource credits of a brand new account.
