I'm a curator for the music sub-community and I can assure you, in our curation we don't have limitations to eg free speech; We also try to give our support to an as wide as possible audience. Sure, some to more users never received a vote from our sub-curie team due to various reasons including spamming, copy/paste. Those authors will have to up their game to be considered. Others simply try to take an easy ride like sharing an old music production from some other social media through more or less a link drop to the Steem blockchain. Quite a few do that. I have no idea how bog this group is, but my gut feel (based on what I see daily) is this can easily be in double digit percentages. This basically means the effective reach of Curie as given by @carlgnash suddenly becomes a lot bigger. Another thing not mentioned in the interaction here is the rewardpool rape by those who users who spend all their SP to vote for themselves. Together with the bid bots, this immensive self voting (openly or hidden through a range of different accounts, or side deals outside the Steem blockchain) is maybe by far the largest issue of our entire community.

I agree with you, there are bigger issues than curation cults rewarding their favorites.
I dont vote copy pasta, either.
Still, out of 65k daily authors, if you want to characterize your impact as broad, you are gonna have to reach into the double digit percentages.
Double digits would be great to reach; Agree to that. In music on the Steem blockchain, I see many double digit percentages of low to no value posts. Although I don't have numbers/stats, I can savely say we have a wide reach across valuable written posts about music; our focus since music productions are already covered by dsounds, dtube and the likes.
