Yes I think we just need to be careful that it's not like a bid bot system
Instead, we do manual curation based on quality of content. But if you're also a premium member, then we add a little extra to the upvote % we give you
Like a multiplier. If we would've upvoted you 10% because of quality, then being premium could get you a 20% vote instead since you've got quality + premium
You captured my point more correctly. A little more for being premium, it does not remove the fact that the curated post should be of standard quality.
The main idea of premium was not about votes anyway, but about unlocking advanced features. Whatever incentives come from voting are just "incentives" and not the main product.
