Thank you. Reading through it now.

At this point I assume Steam has intentionally disabled Curator review-creation. The problem should have been fixed by now, otherwise.

Doubt, I'd rather not spin baseless conspiracies, even more so because why would they randomly disable a feature that's beneficial for them as well?

Someone posted a temporary fix for the browser and I basically used that to come up with a temporary fix within the Steam application.

It is just a really simple bug in the Steam clients.

I still can't add new reviews to Steam Curator page... what's happening Valve?

Sounds like a win

>At this point I assume Steam has intentionally disabled Curator review-creation

I'm fine with it. Most of these "Curators" are bought and paid for by one company or another and most of them don't even finish the games they're reviewing. They're not genuine reviews anyway. Was a bad feature to begin with. The reviews here are a disaster anyway.

Not the few ones I subscribed to...

^They're not going to keep getting early access to all these games if they're negative. Their job is to promote games, not give you an honest review.

Depends. Some of them are giving honest reviews. But there's only so much you can say within a 200 character limit to spark someone's interest or voice genuine displeasure with a game.

Most curators don't even have the critical mass to be worth being 'bought' and unless you have a huge following, all 'payment' is just a free game key. And what even is the free access to a game you don't even have interest in worth for most people?

Let's assume there would've never been a Steam curator feature as it exists nowadays. People would still create reviews on other platforms. There, you have the same problem of some bad apples creating disingenuine reviews for their own advantage. The difference is only that curators are an in-house feature.

As a whole, players can self-regulate by following only helpful curators and where this fails, there is still Steam's refund policy.

And if you don't like the feature generally, that's fine, too. It's easier to ignore than notice. I did not even know of it for multiple years before learning about it.

Maybe their about to go the way of Youtube and nuke Negative Curation the way youtube nuked the likes and dislikes (extensions considered).

There is no point whatsoever that would indicate any of these assumptions. Please stop panicking and coming up with conspiracies when there is no information to support these claims.

I saw the bug that's causing this issue and I reviewed one solution. It is a really dumb error on the client-side that sends the reviews to a faulty URL, which is why Steam's servers can't process them. Manually correcting the target URL makes posting reviews working as usual. I provided the link to a thread with temporary solutions above if you wanna give them a shot.

People get to speculate the same way you have the freedom to be mad about it.
