Maybe after HF25. Currently, I see people use it mostly as @likwid with a fee.

Just like other content, if that usage goes too far it can simply be downvoted (if you notice people just voting it for higher curation returns), these guys are going out of their way to only vote for content that benefits them.

Here’s what I think: If hf25 will remove tax curve and will make 3 curation windows as promissed by blocktrades then what is curie doing right now, will be pure vote selling. Curie is not the only abuser, there are groups like “Yours Piotr” or sbi. Probably I’m naive but I believe they are forced by current blockchain rules to have a strong upvote, because they want to avoid the tax penalty, so maybe let’s wait with downvotes to hardfork?

btw I used curie just as comparison in the post, the post is about pitor

oops, I didn't check the link

I think it can be improved by simply sending the staked part back as staked. I like the idea of paying out curators more, but what used to be staked would best remain as staked.

This could be an easy change I reckon I don't know if that's the issue, though. If people want to sell they'll find ways to sell anyway, having some liquids as a curator without needing to powerdown can be nice as well with tipping and the upcoming re-curring payment feature.

Just power down? It's not the curator part which should be powered up, but rather the half the author's part. Plus it would but some more buy pressure on Hive and sell pressure on HBD stabilizing it some more as well.
