It is a never ending challenge - what and who we vote for with the main @steemcurator accounts.

We are constantly expanding the range of posts we visit, particularly exploring new communities we haven't visited before.

But there are of course limits - even with our large voting power.

Our curation activity at the moment is a sort of 'Economic Stimulus Package' while people build larger accounts for curation.

We are hoping incentives such as @steemcurator02 preferentially voting on Power Up posts will help with that.

It will take time to achieve this certainly, but we are seeing promising signs with a number communities now growing their own curation accounts.

Hopefully over the next 6 months or so we will see some significant voting power being developed among communities.

---

Additionally to encourage engagement, we do allocate an increasing portion of our voting power to rewarding good, meaningful comments.

Hopefully people will catch on to that and realize they can earn just as well from commenting as from making posts.

Thanks **@steemcurator01** for taking the time to stop by and comment!

I do like the idea that the *"economic stimulus"* can be spread around; and I certainly realize that it is a *lot* of work *(I'm admin in a couple of Facebook groups with 11,000 and 20,000+ members, respectively)* to look out for everything that happens. 

The *chance* to get a meaningful upvote for authentic and original content is what keeps many people plugging along... if some of my earlier posts had not been *"seen"* it's unlikely that I would have continued here. We can look at the monetary value of the rewards, sure... but from the (new) content creator's perspective there's also the *psychology* of of a sense that *"my content is appreciated and valued"* which makes most creative types want to continue.

I applaud your voting on comments... it definitely *does* make a difference; in my early days there were *many* weeks when my rewards for leaving comments were far above what my original top level posts earned. I still upvote comments, although even with 5500SP I have to vote at 50% to get past the *"dust"* payout threshold... so it's limited what I can accomplish.

But hey, I keep trying!
