Another poster in the community has accumulated 25k HP in their time on hive, having ONLY distributed 5 HP.
This person is missing a lot of opportunities with using his HP correctly.
Some users are not even aware about curation rewards — so it's probably one of the reasons why they do not curate.
I like this initiative, I think I should post movie blogs since I love movies.
Yeah there are people that have low HP and assume that their vote isn't worth anything so they don't bother, but I think that's a less common instance. Even without taking into consideration that you get rewarded for it, curating other people is a fundamental part of Hive. There is no Hive without it. We can't be relying on whales to curate, especially when it's evident that they have flawed curation structures leading to this problem in the first place.
