## What Jamie wrote

CJ Chilvers has been writing newsletters and blogs for decades and his takes on various approaches are great. I like this one on the value of curation.

> But everyone cares that there is a “you.” Humanized content beats  “personalized” content. Your voice matters. It’s your differentiator. All curation rests on the reputation and voice of the person doing the curation.

And I love the conclusion.

> Curation favors individual humans being useful to other individual humans.

Much of what Chilvers describes here is what I attempt to do in the Weekly Thing.
