Wow, I didn't even now that Steemit shared my article on Twitter, but checked it out, and truly, it is there. That is awesome! Thanks for letting me now!

I do understand your upvoting problem, I just see it as getting more tempting as one get more power. For those whose upvote is worth nothing, not so interesting, but it might make it more tempting for whales to vote for own content or create tons of users and just vote for their crappy content (maybe)!

I get the point with the curation trails, so you might be true, but I also know that not all curation trails work that way. Of course, making the rewards equal, would make it easier to join a curation trail, simply because it would still give you the same benefit of upvoting, and it would make it an easier way to earn passive income. However, I fear the curation part would get weaker, simply because it wouldn't be so inspiring anymore to actually look for that content worth curating.

I will have to think more about it, it is absolutely worth thinking about!
