It is great to see people starting to nominate themselves and all those that have so far, have definitely well deserved to be sponsored. It makes it easier in my busy schedule when looking for profiles, but knowing people think it is a great initiative and like this idea makes me happy to know, giving to the community in this way is making an impact.
Curating Posts with HSBI #17
Should you want to check out more information on HSBI and how it works, there are a variety of posts on their page. You can find Hive SBI - Value Balances and Upvote Delivery to know more about the balances and how upvotes work, or if you want more information in general about the project including FAQs then you can go to Hive SBI.
What to consider for being included
A few things you need to consider to get curated and to also help me look at people when curating:
What I will be looking for is effort shown in the quality of how posts are designed like multiple nice screenshots/art/self taken pictures etc to go with the writing, or something with quite a bit in it and written well, or anything really that feels like quality which doesn't have to be exactly what I mentioned or really big posts because not everyone has time to sit and write 800 - 2000 words or so
You can mention either yourself and/or other people in a comment that you think have good content which will help me looking into what will be curated, if you aren't fully sure then feel free to drop your name or others still because I will look anyway
There is no wheel for this as it is curation, over a normal giveaway post but I will save names I have chosen in a spreadsheet so I am not always picking the same people (but may occasionally pick someone again)
I may curate with extra HSBI off post to help more people so having those names will help
Why HSBI?
I find the social experiment of HSBI to be a solid project that can be used to really help people out that are deserving of earning on their posts and even if they only get small bits for a while, it will continue on through over time and the votes and slowly build up Hive users to grow their own account value, which helps them build the potential to helps others as well.
I am always open to ideas and feedback regarding any curation or giveaway I do, or if I do any contests. If you want to support me in any way then it is always appreciated but never expected and you do not need to for being in for a chance in the HSBI curation.
When do I go through and choose names?
I will be looking throughout the week and marking down names and then going back over them and other names on the weekend, so I can determine 3 people to choose to sponsor. But since this is weekly and three people, there will be plenty to go around!
The three I have chosen for week #16
I have gone through and chosen the three people I am sponsoring 2 Hive for this week after having a look at some posts and finding I liked what I saw and they were the chosen ones.
These people are:
@gamergeek56 - Well written and lengthy posts, giving a good amount for people to reach along with the screenshots to enjoy with it.
@satoru-raiden - A lot of screenshots to go with the shorter but describing posts, about a variety of games including some import but great choices of retro games as well. Videos provided for gameplay helps share what the game is like, further than just writing about it.
@tennoribe - Plenty of writing and either animated screenshots or gifs of the gameplay, or normal screenshots and a variety of games.
Congratulations and thank you for making an effort to bring nice posts to the Hive community which is what we all like to see.
