Agreed. Curators that find gems among dirt should be rewarded more than the curators begging at the feet of famous bloggers. In order to maximize the benefit curators provide to the community, incentives need to align with the amount of information they add to the system. Voting on nobodies is high risk, and needs equivalently high reward to compensate. It seems to me curation rewards should be inversely weighted to the average expected performance of the poster. The result being curators being rewarded half as much when the poster is twice as successful. Right now steemit is like a record company where all of the talent scouts are following the labels most famous bands like groupies instead of looking for up and coming artists.
