Hey everyone! 

It's been a very interesting couple months since we started the Gods Unchained Team and curation initiative and we've seen some nice growth and activity from the userbase if you follow the tag. Now with the honeymoon period being over and the lack of interest to grow the community even though it's been incentivized we've decided to add some requirements to be curated in line with the recent #posh initiative.

Steem works through an inflation model where content creators, curators and witnesses earn newly printed Steem that are being allocated through votes. The value does not just magically appear, though, it is backed by investors and other holders buying Steem in the hopes that they can do things with it and it maybe appreciates in value over time. One way to grow the value of Steem as a content creator is to bring in more consumers to your blogs and our platform that may want to either earn Steem by contributing through comments/posts of their own, or buying Steem to power it up and support their favorite content creators with it. This is essential for Steem, even though you may think you don't want to invite more people cause that means less Steem for you - that's short term thinking and won't help you much if there aren't new users you can share your work to and grow alongside them. It is also crucial for a social media platform to grow in terms of users cause as @aantonop has put it, this kind of a platform needs a certain growth where enough people know enough others who are here and enjoy it for others to want to be part of it on their own too. 

So in terms to get both our platform and community to grow and many other people out there who are yet not aware of Steem and all its advantages it offers to content creators, consumers and blockchain enthusiasts looking for something new, we're going to be requiring content creators to share their works onto other platforms for them to receive curation from our team.

Basically, as a GU content creator, share your steemit/steempeak/d.tube/3speak posts onto twitter and/or reddit, add a link to the shared post in the comment section and our curators will consider your post for curation.

For those already streaming outside of Steem on Twitch, Youtube or Mixer, we would appreciate it if you considered Steem as any other social media site and placed a link to your Steem account in your profile page there so others with a Steem account can follow you and it giving Steem some awareness/visibility.

Other than that, if you know people that want to join and grow alongside you by posting content on Steem about #godsunchained, feel free to send them to [our Discord](https://discord.gg/EHy3EYZ) server where they can quickly get a free Steem account and ask away if there is anything on their minds, there's usually always someone around and helpful.

Let us know your thoughts on this and if you have any ideas on how to improve upon this initiative, we'll gladly consider it. Thanks for reading and Steem on!
