when the curator system was new it was immediately flooded with low effort shit, single line reviews, and people doing bits. i imagine a lot of users only remember it for that.

    It seems like even valve devs working on the system only remember it for that, too. It really is a pity. But hey, at least the system is still there.

    i was given the option to hide em after some update, and i bet a lot of users did just that and haven’t thought about it since. i further bet that valve saw that metric and decided to basically wallpaper over em with subsequent layout updates.

    like it started as opt-out and now it’s more of an opt-in situation

    I think it's been less than a year since I discovered curators. I kind of remember them in a patch notes and maybe friends talking about them years ago, but I don't remember ever exploring them until recently.

    I'm very curious what they were like, pre-wallpapering.

    But at the same time... I do actually like it, how, now, it's an underground feature. It makes it an enthusiast avenue of information that's basically corporate eyes off, to a certain extent. I still get offered keys for slop occasionally, but it seems like a method of critique or even journalism that's adulterated by corruption. And I do want to keep it that way, because I think that corruption counts for the great majority of issues in ...almost all media, not just gaming. Which is weird to think about, but, I whenever things have ads and/paid promoters (you should look up Jestr, it'll ruin some things for you), I think there's space for improvement of culture by elimination of corruption, so to speak.
