Were anyone interested in restraining profiteering, algorithms detecting circle jerks aren't too difficult to design. If there was any interest in undertaking to distribute stake via delegations from Stinc, it would be trivial to detect the extraction of rewards resulting from delegates curation.

The platform is presently afflicted with profiteers, because the ninjaminers were not experienced investors, but clever devs, and the code extant is the shortest route to profit. Experienced investors seek capital gains, and it is obvious that capital gains are not availed by deployed code.

Profiteers running the show have no interest in detecting profiteering, so such algorithms have not been employed. This does not mean they could not be.

How would that affect curation trails?

I don't think it will, since I don't think these delegations will ensue.
