I don't even pay attention to the tags I upvote in. I just look at the article, and if I like it, I upvote it. Putting a tag penalty on curation wouldn't deter me, since I only make a small amount of SP in curation rewards, anyway. And, it would be confusing. I prefer to just be able to vote on what I like. I don't even use my slider. It's too complex. To me, EVERY post I vote on is worth just as much of my meager voting power as every other post I upvote. I'm an equal opportunity upvoter.

I can completely understand that. I believe it was geared more for whales. Honestly, just by applying it to the category itself and not the voter would be easier and just as effective. Imo the goal is to motivate curation into undeserved areas. This could also be a curation bonus (just for minnows and dolphins). It won't effect many of us, but there are a good portion who seek curation rewards.
I like to get curation rewards for sure, meager as they may be. :) But, I also like the feeling of upvoting a truly deserving article, especially one that may be by a new Steemit author, or one that is not yet getting the attention it deserves. Both the curation rewards and the nice feeling of upvoting good posts are good things.
Oh I completely agree. I split some for all 3, curation, just good, and a motivators. :)
