There is one rule on the internet: Do not trust everything on the internet.
Okay, but how do I know what sources to trust and what quality content is?
A community is your answer.
When you use the internet to learn a lot about one specific subject, you find out over time what is right and what is wrong. You also find that a small group of creators create the most helpful content. Over time you identify those creators, and they become your go-to sources for new information or to share with other people that do not know anything about that subject.
What you identified is a community of people that are creating helpful content about one subject. Most of the time, those content creators know about each other, interact with each other, and collaborate from time to time.
When you start exploring a new subject on the internet, you begin exploring who the most valuable players are in that community about that one subject. You do that unconsciously by using cues like view count, comments, appearances, and collaboration. As a result, you start to use the filter system that communities operate.
What is this filter system?
To make it simple, we can take Reddit, for example. Good content is upvoted, and harmful content is downvoted. A community does this also by giving good content more attention and interaction than lousy content. As a result, 80% of the attention goes to the 20% most valuable creators. But it is exponential; the most valuable creator gets way more attention than the 10th most valuable creator.
When you start exploring a new subject on the internet, you identify who gets the most attention by using this filter system. There is only one problem.
This process takes time and energy. Most communities are scattered over different platforms and use different formats for content, and at the start of exploring a new subject, you can fall in a trap of trusting the wrong people. This makes it challenging to learn a lot about one subject because you need to stay updated on different content creators and never blindly believe what they are saying. So, it takes a lot of work. Because of this, you cannot be part of a lot of communities; it just takes too much time and energy.
Growth By Curiosity is your shortcut.
Growth By Curiosity united the most value creators from the different communities on one platform sorted by subject. Each subject has its own space, which is essentially a community of people interested in that one subject. Growth By Curiosity will feature content from the most valuable creators in that space. In this way, you can be part of multiple communities from day one and know what good content is.
Furthermore, members can also share the content around that one subject that they find on the internet. The most valuable content that is shared gets over time the most attention so, we as a community on Growth By Curiosity can also identify new valuable creators and content. Spaces are moderated to make sure this process goes smoothly.
