Curation Trails:

I'm pretty sure that hiking alone is going to be a difficult task after HF21 especially for the smaller accounts, but I wonder if we should play with curation trails.
Let's play with this idea:
At first I thought it would be best to just upvote popular Authors, but that will not maximize the results... Everyone already knows who they are.
But perhaps a well thought out curation trail would be beneficial. In this case the beginning account wants to find an unknown Author, but that alone will not work without a trail of votes behind.
So, what if... Whenever @whatsup voted you knew 10 minutes later a large curation account was going to follow? People could follow the initial vote and be relatively sure that a trail of votes would come along behind.
People with a history of varied manual curation would be the best pick for these trails.
Just based on today's price and today's voting pattern, I'm pretty sure my 25% vote will be dust after HF21. I'm trying to think of ways to stay in the game and help others to stay in it as well...
What do you think of manually curated voting trails? Would you participate?
I think it is an interesting thing to consider to help people maximize their investment.
Funny that you mention this idea. A lot of users have asked for a LEO trail which has prompted me to think of an idea along these lines — creating an account that upvotes “2” minutes or something like that, before the main Steemleo accounts upvote. Allowing users to trail that first account and frontrun the main account.
I wasn’t thinking in the context of HF21, but under the new economic curve, it would make sense for people to not only trail their LEO voting accounts, but actually their main SP accounts as well. This account is manually curating Steemleo content so this could mean a win-win-win.

Anything that helps small accounts will help Steem in the long run. More people should be in the community and not a few powerful.

At this point, I think I would be open to anything as the need to distribute value is as important as ever here! I love manual curation as I enjoy consuming much of the content and perspectives of the community.

Wow if true that will be the first time I ever saw a dolphin drown.
Great you mention this. Actually what I am even afraid of is the amount of frustration the smaller account will face when this hardfork kick start and hope it will not influence their decision of leaving
who knew ... apparently this one likes a community of 1

Thanks for the shades :)
I've been trailing c-cubed for a while now as they are consistently voting 10 decent posts from less well-known authors.
If each tribe would copy their approach, i'd likely get on board.
It's something interesting to consider, but we really can't know until HF21 starts and we try it out... This fork is so weird, I'm actually afraid of what this will do to the STEEM price, not sure if many people won't lose hope and just cashout.
Yeah, I'm worried about that too, and many people are already powering down.
For me what each person should consider:
Would my content pay more elsewhere... If the answer is yes. Go elsewhere.
If the answer is no, you are still winning if you enjoy making the content.
What we need is a way to centralize people that volunteer's data, someone that sold that data to big marketing companies and survey companies, the profit would be stored in STEEM and that STEEM would be powered up and give upvotes to everyone that volunteered... this is the only way for people to be rewarded by their data. Because atm, the value that STEEM has is from normies buying, which will never be a good thing long-term...
We NEED more cashflow to pour into buying STEEM! Cashflow is King!
This is basically what facebook does, and that is why they earn so much money...

well my 100 will be dust, not even sure will i care about voting, maybe i should just do 100% with curie or someone else who does manual curation and just don't vote on anything else.
and if we get few of these trails majority of smaller acc (and looking at this even some dolphins will be small acc) will get no votes, no votes/no interaction. no votes/no interaction --> no interest in posting.
An adage said that "a tree cannot make a forest", popular authors will not thrive better without votes of others be it begginers or not, may we keep supporting each other in maximizing their investment. Nice one @whatsup
I've actually been doing this for a while, to the extent that I'm able. I set up a @steemauto trail for @classical-music, then @cmp2020 and I set our personal accounts and larger auto-voting accounts to vote 30 minutes after @classical-music. That way, anyone in the trail can vote in front of of our accounts and get some extra curation rewards. It never attracted many people, though. I guess our combined stake isn't high enough to get anyone's attention.
So, yeah, I think it's a good idea, and it's easy enough to implement through @steemauto. But the tricky part is finding someone with a large enough stake who's willing to sacrifice those curation rewards.
