Playing Curator
Being in charge of the new incoming artworks on the net, galleries or museums makes you an curator. You make decisions regarding which works to select, comment and interpret.
Before the internet education and training was for the future curator the only way to get there...
...today you can self proclaim yourself and start right away to give your opinion about everything that crosses your way.
Sometimes I wonder if declaring somebodys artwork as "astonishing" and "great", while it is quickly done and for the best "mediocre", really helps the "artist" to develop his skills in the future.
It for sure is a great thing to see only the best in people, but not everyone who fails is a victim. It is always easy to sacrifice the future to the present and in general people create their worlds with the tools they have at hand or seem available to them. It is also a fact that faulty tools produce faulty results.
That's why, provided that you got talent, you learn from the past.

Dear Artzonian, thanks for using the #ArtzOne hashtag. Your work is valuable to the @ArtzOne community. Quote of the week: Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics. -Victor Pinchuk
Only seen this now. Sort of funny - or maybe not funny, but sad. Just as there are wanna-be (pretender) artists, there are wanna-be (pretender) curators. And there are plenty of those to be found on Steemit.
I remember what Mat Gleason once said about curators in a Facebook comment (I paraphrase): "Anybody can be a curator. If you pin something on your grandmothers fridge, you are a curator."
..... and I am waiting for the "artspeak" to be dripping out of the faucets (maybe a theme for a painting?)
