I always wonder what gives authors of these curated lists the authority to be curators? Are they like, experts in the specific domain? What is the curation process? It's difficult to take them seriously unless these questions are answered.

Actually we needed such a list and we asked people about it, with close to zero answers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12786982 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12786982 After looking arround for a while, we decided to make what we found public.

  so "curated" in this instance is short for "Here's what I found"?

    I spent a bit more time on the content of this list. But if that's what you like to believe, I'd rather not take it away.

Why does their need to be an authority? If somebody posts a bad list or curates against your interests, you could leave a comment or suggest a better list.
