One of the biggest issues is communities that encourage any and all content with stake behind it as it drives people to post there for the rewards and there's were a lot of attention goes in terms of engagement then as well. They're not doing niche communities any favors. I'm happy appreciator stopped focusing on the GEMS community early on and that I also realized this early and kind of deserted OCD because these "anything goes" communities just split the already small community we have here in even smaller pieces. They shouldn't encourage users to post in their community just for the sake of extra curation while taking away a piece of content that could've fit into a community specialized around that genre. They should just go and curate there. 

However, there's cross-posts as well, even if they're quite broken and half-assed still where authors such as yourself are disincentivized to use them as it'd mean all autovoters on your account would get their curations rekt voting up the cross-post that has rewards declined.
