As you are writing a post, you have the option of choosing 5 tags to help categorize your post. I think this level of freedom is good, but I would gladly give up one of my tags to have a curator use a tag they feel is best.
If someone is in the zone, they are going to have a good perspective on a good tag, where I may choose something that was appropriate last week or create a new tag that is getting no traffic.
What do you Steemians think?
