True Colours 4 (Team #3) | February Curation Report for Week 2

1. Preface

Disappointed is the topic that ruled the past week. We are disappointed in those who left comments, the commentators who suddenly appeared and left almost the same comment on different posts and comments and we are also disappointed in the lack of reactions that we leave as a team. Should we waste our time commenting since not one single SC team does that.

We are also disappointed about the posts.
The creativity is hard to find and the average chosen title is bad and hashtag abuse is increasing. There is clearly no priority given to titles and hashtags, not even at the beginning of a text. It is copy-paste work that is often rewarded.
It is disappointing that when we ask to choose a catchy title, to remove the word "contest" or to use better hashtags, we often hear: next time I will do that (next time never arrives).

The above makes clear that reading is no priority, that the feeling of building a platform together only exists in a small group but also that receiving a reward for a post is taken for granted by a number of people. We do not want to participate in this and certainly do not want to reward this. Nice, great, awesome if you decide to provide others with a comment, but we like to see engagement. Friendships are valuable and can certainly be created via Steemit.

Is there also something positive to report?
Yes, certainly. A positive aspect is that we see enough artistic entries to upvote, there are also long threads where people talk and laugh with each other. Where information is shared without problems and where people ask with genuine interest "How are you?" and listen to the answer. Asking this question and not listening to the answer is rude! Please, take note of that. These Steemians can count on us and will be rewarded even if it's more than once.

Note: A number of upvotes have been given in the hope of encouraging the writer to do better, even if it is not the best post/comment.

Review	@sailawana reviewed a restaurant in this article. The restaurant is one of the well-known restaurant franchises that can be found in major cities in Indonesia. In her article, she included photos to accompany the narrative and showed the menus and price list. Sailawana also pinned the address of the restaurant she visited, and this led to an interesting conversation in the comment section especially about the Steem Atlas dApp built by @pennsif.

Review	A poem written about the painting of choice which makes one consider about the life one lives and how we treat others: "Though you were never hungry, you always took the cookies from my hand. Though you always stayed silent, you never left me without an answer. Though you never smiled, you always made me laugh... Did you feel the same as I did when I bathed you, combed you, dressed you?"

Review	That's what friends are for but above what Steemit means to her, me and many others. A place without borders where we engage, connect, catch and lift another and not only on Valentine's Day. @olivia08 did not only made me smile because of the song she performed but most of all she invests in old friends. "That's What Friends Are For". A Happy Valentine's Day to you.
