But what is the purpose of curation if a faceless algorithm does it instead of a human who finds value in a work someone else created?

well, I am faithful to a handful of friends here on steemit. I vote for them. But I usually hand curate posts and find new authors to upvote as well. The bot helps me stay focused. I used to think like you at first, but I became more realistic. Some days I just need to stay off the internet...
If you need to stay off the internet, that's fine. You don't need to curate. Curation is not an obligation. It feels more valuable for me as a writer to see that actual eyes have seen what I write. Upvotes are secondary in my opinion.
