Curation takes more work, but has more payout.
Even if they technically pay the same number of tokens, there is a huge value to building one's social network on LEO. When I upvote posts and comments everyone sees my name. It's free advertising of my brand.
It's possible to get upvotes on LEO and Hive that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. People will follow me who otherwise wouldn't have, and when I launch dapps or promote my @hextech witness team more users will support us. The value of this is pretty high. It is a largely invisible and long-term investment.

True, in the age of the attention economy, curating brings more in the end. Also with the upvotes from others, you are fully right, as they increase the ROI.
Also smart move on naming the witness, now you got a new voter. :)
