Imagine a tiered curation reward.
A simple upvote click on the feed yields a small reward to the curator. An upvote click after opening the article yields a larger reward. Then, to top it off, a responsible blogger who cares about their readers could give a few worthwhile votes to worthy comments. Triple whammy! Rewarded for actually viewing and expressing their thoughts!
The content creators could create. The curators could curate... and finally, the creators can curate the curators. Everyone wins and it's a perfect world again!
Yes as long as the algorithm does not encourage doing all of those things simply based upon the order you did it in.
