Thank you for this ...
"... the curation in this post was not meant as a way to secure future support, I think we're all trying to move away from the past and many are "doubling down" on hive which is great to see. As a curator I just happened to notice the post quality, and that you don't post that frequently so wanted to reward that."
... as it indicates good intentions from my perspective @acidyo. You are willing to invest a little time and are perceptive. I am most definitely a "part timer," but I do put serious effort into what I publish, since it "has my name on it" (no matter how it is "rewarded") ... That is just the way I was raised.
Not to worry about my perception in reverse. Never crossed my mind ...
I will hopefully catch the coming post about OCD's curation plans, which you reference. I'm sure it is a continuous challenge to try and get the balance right. At least you make a genuine effort to do just that, while in so many other cases it is blatantly obvious that is not happening. Observing that, in the past, is the basis of my support for OCD's Witness.
