I agree, curation brings incredible value to Steemit. Not only because it helps quality content to rise to the top, but also because it allows for members of the community to engage and connect with each other. Also, talking about what other people are doing well and why we think they are doing it well also shows that we are confident in our abilities and are willing to share the spotlight, even in our own space. So, its a win-win-win for the curator, the author or post being highlighted, and the overall community.
