With the largest curation account voting the majority of its take to dumpers, I'd suggest that their intent is to ride hive to the bottom to spite their outspoken critics.
IF I had made my money from the space, I'd have my funny bone tickled by forcing it into the dirt by taking out as much as I could, too.
It's just how greedy minds work.
Power used to help others is less sweet.
As long as 'we', as a community, vote rewards to those that dump, any failure of the hive is our own fault.
We are slitting our own throats, and asking not to die as a result.
Insanity.
Fyi, the top 20 accounts take 50% of the daily pie, and have been since sometime after the orcas started getting established.
It was worse before that.
The way out of this mess is for the little crabs to power up and take that power away.
Does it make more sense to have a bunch of little people deciding, or a few big people?
Reward those that power up, at least to some determined minimum probably scaled by reputation level.
