# <center>OCD DAILY - Issue #186</center>

<h2><center>**Welcome to the 186th issue of @OCD Daily!**</center></h2>

Issue #186 highlights content from ten (10) Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team continues it's search throughout Steemit to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Our Curators bring you ten new pieces of original content in today's issue! We strive to find works that are provided by newer Steemit users, that may not have the audience which their quality content deserves. @OCD strives to help provide that audience, and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

<center>**The @OCD nomination process**</center>

*A curator will **FIND** a piece of work (typically from newer users), within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @ocd team, votes tallied and the pieces with the most votes are placed into the compilation.*

We encourage you to visit these blogs and to show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

<center>If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!</center>

All of the content as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated, and valued, making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.
