Oh, it seems I've been misunderstood. 😆 I like Curie and OCD, they're the best and the top curators here. I would have given up on here last yr if not for Curie if anyone cares to even check my posts. They have curated me several times in fact when I was writing more non-personal or non-blog like posts everyday. Now I'm over the pls-notice-me-senpai stage and just post whatever I want. Sometimes I do post the way I do last year but if I don't make it "seen" it will never be voted by Curie or OCD unless they chance upon it.

Why say I'm bashing them when I'm not? I'm stating facts. I'm not "friends" with any of them and those who find my curatable posts when I do have some are always appreciated. ❤ Curators do not vote their friends only I know that too thanks for letting me know what I already know. 😆

What I'm trying to say is, if you don't do anything to get noticed as a redfish (like when I was starting out and plenty of activity was around as opposed to now) provided your post is a high quality one, you get a slim chance to get curated by those two. It may not be very true now because there are less people who post now than before but it's not impossible that it still happens.

There are plenty of communities to join out here to get big upvotes. One must need to look around and find them based on their interests. Redfishes or Steemit newbies should know that.
