Not really... curation rewards aren't that high, and actually penalize you for bandwagoning. Downvoting would solve a lot of this, if it started being common for overvalued posts. The reason people can vote for bad posts and be sure theyll do fairly well is because they know people won't downvote them for being bad.

The trending page says different.

there are a lot of reasons for why the trending page is the way it is. I think the taboo against downvoting is one of the big ones. But the top heavy distribution also helps a lot.
