You are absolutely right! Let's hope, as the curation goes up, more people will upvote 'good' posts... normally, spam posts will decrease as the post rewards will decrease too...and as such good posts will stand up more and gain more upvotes.
At least, that's what I hope...
And then you also have the tribes where minnows can act as whales 😉
There is nothing in the Steem blockchain code that incentivizes upvoting "good" content. The incentive is to upvote content that will be highly rewarded. The assumption in the Whitepaper is that good content will be rewarded, but there is no mechanism to incentivize that. In fact, the content that can be expected to earn the most reward is the content produced by whales, and content produced by someone who uses bid bots. The HF21 changes to the reward curve only add more incentive to upvote posts that will end up highly rewarded, i.e. posts by whales and bid botted posts. Anyone who thinks that HF21 is going to result in more curation of good posts is living in a fantasy world.
There's nothing wrong with living in a fantasy world... you can call me a dreamer 😉
