I see how new users with fantastic and quality work are not rewarded.
I hear many say this but I don't see much of it. I believe you, though and would gladly figure out a way to give people a chance to nominate great posts more freely while having myself and our curators make sure there's nothing fishy behind the content cause as you know giving people a way to promote their posts the worst kinds will most of the times be the first to try and take advantage of it.
About communities, we're going to become a lot more strict with the incubation program depending on if the communities and their leaders and moderators are doing good work on curating, maintaining and trying to grow them with our voting assistance. If not we will give others that are similar a chance instead or just focus elsewhere, there's plenty of niche's and community ideas but unfortunately not all that many users right now to truly give these communities a chance at blossoming.
You know the main idea is to reach out to the content creator and leave a comment, opinion, advice, or maybe a pat on the back.
As a video creator, I try to convey a message, it may not reach more than 1 or 3 people, but that is a beginning. When they give you the opportunity and they encourage you with a reward, you may reach more people and that is appreciated, the main idea is to have a balance and that the creator and consumer are in tune, the rest is profit, but all of us from time to time need a push so be it once a month.
Well, communities have flaws and failures, while others are on the right track or trying to do things well.
You need to have a clear look at what you want and most importantly, have your ears open to listen to every idea, thought, suggestion and perhaps some of them will be heard and give us the opportunity to advance to success.
Here is some more!
If you look you will see!
