Steam curators: the last 30 days in numbers
From Oct 3, 2026 to Nov 1, 2026, 751 of the Steam curators I track posted 10,459 times about 5,813 games. 35% of those posts came from curators with three or more points of reseller warning signs. 71% of all posts were recommendations and 9% were "not recommended".
How much coverage a game gets
Games by the number of curators without several signs who posted about them in the window, not counting "not recommended" posts. At least half the games curators covered got a post from just one curator without several signs.

Method and limits
A crawler reads Steam's public curator directory daily and the latest 100 posts of each curator with 200 or more followers. A curator that posts often has fewer of its posts in older days, so the earliest days of the window may be a little low. Steam shows a post's day, not its time. Follower history started on Oct 31, 2026. The same numbers come weekly on this week on Steam curators and in depth in the scam patterns report.
