Once again, you're back in those curator shoes…
Well, some people wear them over and over like their favourite old slippers — without ever stopping to think about things like:

The quality of posts, genuine engagement, plagiarism, commenting habits, expectations from Steem, and — let’s not forget — a pinch of self-awareness.

Well well well…

I must admit, I’m guilty of at least one of the accusations.
(Just one, Your Honour — I swear!)

Yes, sometimes when my SP is just lying around and I’m super super busy, I do a bit of skim-voting.
But in my defense, those votes are usually for authors I trust. (They’re the good ones — pinky promise!)

Apart from that little slip, I can almost say "Yes" to all the other questions with a clear conscience.

Honestly, these questions/reservations should be etched into every Steemian’s homepage brain.

Coming to the most important ones,
Because if any one can answer the first one with a clear conscience, they have passed the test with flying colours:

• Do you expect more from Steem than just “a quick coin”?
• Do you see a future for Steem?
• Do you believe that you, as an individual, can help keep interest in this platform alive?

Yes. Yes. And YES.
