Blurt Curation - Open-Source Curation Game - 9 Apr 2021

Well, that didn't last long! There I was, restarting my curation project and barely a week later - boom! All gone.

But, don't worry, there was always a plan B. I mean, just listing curation accounts was never, on it's own, going to sustain daily posts. So, let's fast-forward to plan B.

Open-Source Curation Game

So you wanna be a curator and earn some money? OK, here is how this works.

If you find a good post that you think deserves a vote, leave a comment with a link and just one sentence explaining why.

If the post is voted upon, then the "curator", that's you, will also get a vote at half the weight.

So, if I vote a post 50% then the curator who left the comment will get 25%.

That's it!

Some Complications

There are always complications, so let me go through them before I see the same questions every day.

Is a vote guaranteed? No.

Who makes the final judgment? I do.

Can I curate my own posts? No.

What if the same post is listed multiple times? I shall take the first comment made.

What if I forget to add a short explanation? Edit your comment.

What if I forget the post link? Then you have a far more serious problem.

Will the vote be larger than my commenting fee? Yes, of course.

In what language can the posts be written? Any existing language is fine.

Can others vote on my comment? Sure, that's part of the fun, if this becomes popular you may gain some visibility, but I will still look at the chronological order.

What if you've already voted on a post? Find another one.

What if I see a post voted upon but I don't get the curator's vote? Read the comment I leave on the post and you will see who the curator is.

Can I complain? You can try, although probably wiser to move on.

I expect some level of chaos, but do try and chill out, it just isn't worth the mental anguish.
