Its a real boost in user retention and most of all, the retention of great talents on Steemit. Let me share an FB post from @cbppls who is a musician, singer & songwriter . This was after he received an upvote from @curie ___ ![cbppls.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaVYFSSCpugSoziVDkbuPBNPbTbeZXf9PihjNZu2DZGFy/cbppls.png) The Link which was upvoted by @curie https://steemit.com/music/@cbppls/szao93bi ___ ### Working in Silence @curie has never announced that the post was upvoted by @curie. Even the curators do not require to be acknowledged that they were the one who found your post exceptional. They would just evaluate then submitted to curie with hopes that the post would be upvoted. @curie's curators are evaluated and even penalized for recommending posts which goes beyond the guidelines of getting an upvote. The practise of **Givers Gain** has always been a common practice within the curation team as they know that when they help other steemians, the help would be reciprocated back in some way. ### What CURIE needs We are in real need of DELEGATION for this project to continue, so if you can pitch a helping hand no matter how small or how big it would be much appreciative. ##### I want to help with 10SP #### I want to help with 50SP ### I want to help with 100SP ## I want to help with 500SP # I want to help with 1000SP ___ #### Curie does not have the budget to pay current market rate for SP delegation but can give a small symbolic weekly return for major delegation (100,000 SP+ delegation). Please contact us on Discord to talk details: https://discord.gg/G6RPUMu ___ ##### other related posts - https://steemit.com/curie/@curie/a-call-for-delegation ___ ## Summary Do provide a helping hand , there is no obligation however every little but will matter as we would love to continue to keep growing and supporting the community within.
