RE: The Ups and Downs of Curation Trails
This is an interesting take on the matter ... and yes, it does take quite a while for curators and their trails to pick up new users. One of the reasons I started my little Friday collection is because personal recognition is actually not easy to get, and although I am now well supported by curators FIVE YEARS ON, I know most people don't know they need to be prepared to gut it out for a year or more and need encouragement to keep going.

Thanks for your reply ! Something I've noticed is that getting onto curation trails really smooths out post earnings. I know that posts in certain communities will get a baseline of automated upvotes, helped by the upvotes from SBI's. It makes post earnings a lot more consistent than when I joined, where some posts would do awesomely well and others would struggle to earn just a couple of cents.
I might actually start a small curation trail of my own, as a way to publicise a few people I consistently vote for but who I think make amazing content which isn't earning what it ought to. Or maybe do a weekly post highlighting them or something....
You are in my weekly post that I am doing to highlight ... and, I also have two wee curation trails, one for just folks the chain doesn't see as well, and one I am preparing for those who are coming here because of me. Both, done consistently, can be effective!
