I don't know about all the semantics needed to improve the system but I am totally under the impression that changes in the amount paid to curators needs to be improved. I've said it numerous times my strong point for this site is my addiction to blogging, not so much for being a great content producer. Even in blogging if you want people to focus on the content produced and engage it has to be worth their time. Some articles take a couple minutes to read others take more time, unless something immediately stands out that I'd like to say I like to see what others are commenting about the article, that takes more time. On a really good article and comments I could spend forty five minutes or more depending greatly upon the number of comments or even the quality of comments. This article alone, along with reading a few comments and watching the video I have over a hour into, I don't know how much I'll earn for all this but you know a bloggers life was never profitable to begin with so I am definitely not doing this to survive. As long as there's a site willing to pay something a little more fair something would be nice. I'll admit it is hard watching others walk off with hundreds for some stupid shit post, even harder when your conscious is fighting you saying cheat, cheat it's more profitable. Overall though some people can live with themselves cheating their way through life and others are happier knowing they've been honest with themselves and others.

Yes you got that right, I think the platform is severely underestimating rewarding curation works more to keep an engaged community/platform. It's difficult to use one's votes to curate (voting oneself is not curating..) when there's the trolley problem, hence the proposal of this post to minimise it. Thanks for your input @sunlit7 :)
