Head over to the latest posts section on Leofinance and scroll the content. You will find a lot of deserving content over there to curate. Just because it isn't in the "popular" section doesn't mean it isn't good.
I have seen a lot of very good articles that never reach even 5 LEO, but I have seen how a guy has a lot of groceries or another one makes a clear plagiarism and has more than 60 LEO.
Well I follow your advice and look for publications without so much exposure that are really worthwhile, and no matter that my vote is not worth a penny of LEO I keep curating and commenting on many publications.
