"...it will make you curate other individuals spreading the wealth."
This is actually anticuration, as the content organically preferred would not be curatable any longer by accounts with preferences. It would increase distribution, but not based on subjective judgment of quality. Manipulations of curation rewards inevitably fail to promote curation, but always create incentive to curate for financial return, and ignore content quality.
There are other options, and not only keeping things the same. I propose some below in reply to the OP.
I flag trash. You have received a flag.
