RE: Curie Author Showcase (May 15th, 2018)
Nice to see a reviewer featured. Interesting to see a comment about "an ordinary reviewer" when reviewing itself is an incredibly artform when undertaken properly. The amount of effort and experience required to craft a loving review is a little undersold on here, seemingly undervalued in comparison to other creative endeavours.
I actually do agree with you that it is an undervalued skill/talent not only on Steem, but outside of here. The reason I worded it that way was to refer to some of the extremely lackluster reviews one can also find on the site. Sadly for everyone one like this you will find half a dozen that contain just two or three paragraphs that either tear a film apart or totally oversell it without really adding anything. Those ones that can't even convince you to make it through the review let alone help you decide if you want to go see the film.
I agree there. I've not seen a great many posters in terms of offering too much in written reviews. And I'm really looking too! Not even seeing much on Discogs groups on this front either.
Fingers crossed, they become more prevalent. I would hope that communities would help in this instance. I would have applied to submit posts in the Curie discord ages ago if I knew I could find a wealth of talent in my little niche.
