Oh, thank you for this post, there was a lot of talks about it.
It's really not about $$$... people won't get rich for just curating. Gamification matters.
People feel great if they successfully find something interesting. People feel great if they can use their Steem Power for others' sake.
Most concerns are about so called whales and their votes, as it makes them profit even for curating blindly. Minnows on the other hand don't get a lot of profit, but get a lot of fun. Making curation rewards super-linear could solve that problem.

Gamification is what makes this so addictive to me. I get like 2c for finding a good post but it's fun to try to guess which will be good and time it. I can't put my phone down. My data is through the roof, I keep getting distracted and losing things. Curation rewards are key! I think it would help drive adoption if newbies had a better shot at curation rewards. I know they don't want a lot of bots here but maybe you could give newbies super votes ( only when at 100 percent) that lets them earn rewards at least once a day. (As @dantheman said here the optimal minnow strategy is not to vote).
