How about helping out long-time users who are just now taking advantage of the partner program? I joined in 2012, but I suspect I’m in curation jail for long having experimented on the platform (from importing WordPress blogs to setting up domains to building brand blogs). Probably my fault for really exploring a lot of the platform’s features back then. I understand the volume has exploded, but I’ve seen a lot of newer writers getting curated much much quicker, whilst I’ve never had a curated piece ever (as far as I know).
