Curation rewards are unnecessary, since people will upvote good content without being rewarded. As a bidbot owner, you know that curation rewards create rent seeking behaviour - it's what you do. You enable delegations to seek rent. The higher curation rewards are, the less curation has any damn thing to do with content quality, and the more it becomes rent seeking.
Be honest, please.
SP seems not to be driving price up at all, while negative retention and trash trending - completely caused by rent seeking curation - are killing the goose that lays the golden egg of Steem value.
Want the price to go up? Quit seeking rent and start rewarding good content.
I fully agree
