RE: Curated authors renting their spot on curation lists
IMO things would be better if curation reward was removed. People will always upvote what they like. On the other side, I feel like curation is essential for the platform. Curation or upvotes are generaly only popularity contest not a production of value. I also feel that users will flee from the platform if they are not compensated right but things we are talking is a product of curation reward pursuit.
Also, scalability of the platform is a big problem since we see those problems with only 6000+ users active each day, imagine how would things look like with 10 or 100 times bigger active user population.
When I say curating a post I mean commenting it, not only upvoating it, of course. Comments are very important because the feedback will improve the user's experience. I know a blog (the no. 1 rated in my country) that has mainly simple posts, not useful posts at all, but the comments ARE GOLD, PURE GOLD.
