In many cases, for example, tagging fails. We must be aware that curators often look for good posts on specific tags (such as #SteemSTEM, #OCD-resteem, #travelfeed, etc.) Browsing Steemit is very cumbersome, not made easier by bidbots.
Unfortunately - omnipresent spam does not allow to reach, to all good posts, best practice therefore, is to create communities and own tags that are viewed and cured. I would be happy to support and promote any such community myself.
I enjoy writing in the #polish community (because I'm Polish), where I'm sure many people will see my post and vote for it (if it's good). There are many english-speaking communities that are worth joining, I will try to write about this post, because not all of them are so easy to reach :)
