  • I only follow a very small set of curators. Most of my follows seem to be developers and stuff.

    I stumbled upon Sentinels of the Store, which hosts a few curators that seem useful. Like pointing out [reason for] review bombing, paid positive reviews, pointing out charity donation style, etc. There are more curators like that that are mainly about information rather than “reviews”.

    Scrolling through “My Curators”, it seems to me like Steam Groups are also in there? Maybe if they set up a curator? Otherwise, it must have been a long time ago that I followed them. Possible.

    I also see 100% Free Games, Peaceful Adventures and Stories, and maybe there are a few (very few) where I found reviews consistently valuable. It’s not exactly easy to assess them from this list…

    I was surprised and confused about how I reached 100. If 50 are from my groups I joined and maybe 10 actual curators I followed and 40 are followed developers and publishers, that seems plausible to me.





  • that the Audit Assistance can flag “what may look like an odd search history from a specific user,” helping customers understand how their users are operating the system.

    A flag does not mean that it is definitely abuse — it only means it warrants further investigation.”

    Helping the customer => entirely dependent on how the violating org handles these.

    Even usefulness is entirely dependent on how effective the flags are in the first place. If false positives are too high, even good intended may call not worth it.

    It may even be counter-productive if perpetrators cheer each other on when getting flags but no consequences.

    Without transparency on 1. flag conditions 2. number of flags per org 3. results of org response/flag-flagging… who wants to trust this?
