The OurPick encouragement program is part of the @Liotes ecosystem where quality posts are curated and authors are encouraged to continue with the content creation adding value to different communities, and Hive in general...

Created in Canva.com

Occasionally, we will pick a couple of awesome posts that we find interesting and will suggest them for your further reading... We hope that it will help authors as an additional promotion... We support creators with our upvotes in Hive, but also in other tribe tokens! These Hive-Engine tribes give additional value to the whole ecosystem and help authors and curators follow their niches and dreams...

Overexposure: One Surprising Cause of Downvotes on Hive by @josediccus

Agree with you! Many people (not just from your place) are doing exactly as you described... Chasing big accounts in the hope that they will be upvoted... It's like begging for a vote and doing whatever is needed to get there...
IMO, that's the opposite of what HIVE should be, I mean, what HIVE is offering! HIVE can empower you to be better, to add value, to be creative, to be YOU! And to get there, the best way to do it is to share the journey with people who are like you, stake-wise, interests-wise, and who "click" with you... Growing together is much better than begging for upvotes...
Sorry, I went off-topic, but I do believe that through "healthy" growth, it is possible to avoid these DV and shady stuff happening... I do understand DV, but I also know that there are people who like to abuse them... Until we don't have "coded" stuff that can prevent abuse, it will happen...

Stormy Sea - Infrared Photography on HIVE by @lichtkunstfoto

I felt a lot of peace admiring your photographs in contrast to the sea's anger. The beach landscapes attract me a lot, and yet, the two photographs that I like the most from this selection are two in which the sea does not appear: the one with the stones in the foreground and the last one with the horses grazing peacefully. And I wonder what those things with numbers are?

Masonic Lodge of St. Louis: three thrones. wisdom, beauty and power. Logia Masónica de San Luis :tres tronos.sabiduria ,belleza y poder(en/es) by @davidsantafe

The Masonic order always attracted me for that aura of mystery that surrounds it. It is a luxury to be able to visit a headquarters from the inside and more this well-preserved example. It is full of all those symbols that I have read so many times in historical novel books, which are my favorites. I would have enjoyed that visit a lot, so I thank you for bringing it here.

San Ignacio avanza a semifinales del Torneo Estadal sub-12 (ESP- ENG) by @maitt87

A high-quality report of great quality hahaha. It shows your great emotion for what you have achieved and the passion you feel for this sport. Today I want to focus again on the video you share, as I only see improvements and progress in your way of editing, which together with the music manages to convey many emotions. I'm happy to appreciate a quality post...
