Welcome to the **129th** Daily Edition of the **Daily Qurator**. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

 

The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.10 - $1.63!

 

**Note:** some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

[YouTube Makes It Harder- Dtube Makes It Easier : So Join DTube](https://steemit.com/dtube/@datascience/youtube-makes-it-harder-dtube-makes-it-easier-so-join-dtube)

>In December Google randomly decided to suspend my monetization for 30 days for "suspicious clicks". I completed and submitted the appeal form twice (appealing because I hadn't done any dodgy clicking) but got no response from them.

 

Do you use, or have you used YouTube? Did you experience any issues? Have you tried and used Dtube?

Share your stories in @datascience's post. He has left YT for better horizons on Dtube and he HIGHLY recommends the switch. See why...

[Popular Social Media Has Become A Very BIG Problem](https://steemit.com/life/@positivity420/popular-social-media-has-become-a-very-big-problem)

>I was talking with a friend of mine and his younger brother came, he proceeded to poke at my friend but not in funny or mean way, it was just plain stupid... Then my friend told me his little brother doesn't have friends now because he isn't famous on instagram... Dude what is this world we live in??! When did no social media followers = no friends in real life trend started??

 

It really is sad when a person can't have REAL friends in real life. Are we so connected to technology and our devices that we forget we are actually living? Is our worth as a person defined by the number of _likes_ and _shares_ or followers?

[What Is Blockchain Technology And Why Is It So Important?](https://steemit.com/blockchain/@michaelizer/what-is-blockchain-technology-and-why-is-it-so-important)

>In my previous article I talked about several technologies, which in my opinion were going to be among the most used this 2018. In this and the next articles we will talk with a little more detail about each of these technologies, starting with the one we all know, the blockchain.

 

Do you know the three types of networks associated with blockchain? Centralized, decentralized and distributed.

Head over to @michaelizer's post and learn some facts about blockchain. If you're new to the steemit and cryptocurrency worlds, this post will be very helpful.

## <center>New Tiers Update </center>

<center>The latest Tiers update is out and updated. You can see the post [here](https://steemit.com/steemit/@eonwarped/boosting-posts-with-qurator-and-qustodian). </center>

## Streemian Trail Account is here! 

<br>

<div class="pull-left"><center><img src="https://steemitimages.com/DQmdMFoKsoRSCzK2ty4BR3ceqFE7BbfQBNrjLmX6vZ2sjhs/17.png" /></center></div>



You may have noticed that your upvotes from @qurator packed a little bigger punch! @scrooger and @ethandsmith  are now trailing the @qurator account and will be sending you some extra upvotes from our side as well. It's not much but every upvote counts! 

You can also follow the trail and send upvotes to fellow Qurator members when @qurator upvotes them. To set up a Streemian account only takes a few minutes and is a great way to earn some extra curation.



<center> You can follow this [GUIDE](https://steemit.com/howto/@scrooger/how-to-set-up-a-streemian-account-and-follow-curators-detailed-step-by-step-guide) to set up your Streemian account. </center>


<center>After setting up your account you can follow this trail on Streemian: </center>

<center>https://streemian.com/profile/curationtrail/trailing/817</center>

*We suggest **NOT** following the trail at 100% since we do not want to drain too much of your precious voting power.  Play around with your percentage and if you see your voting power being drained too much you can simply lower your % in Streemian. If you have a lot of voting power to spare you can consider a larger %.* 

If you need any help or have questions come visit our `#support` channel on Discord.
