I just wonder how better and closely to 'the original project's utopia' steemit really would be if CURATION incentives & rewards simply ¡DID NOT EXIST! within the platform at all.
And by that I MEAN: ¿How about if in order to someone (anyone) could be able to earn here a single penny or a flying rat ass "curating", they first MUST READ entirely a post from Top to Bottom before that damn VOTE button even appears available to do so? ¿Huh? ¿Wouldn't that sound like a true Conscious Human Social Network of sorts or what?
¡In any case, at least that way we for sure would know that no bot, AI or automatism could be able to vote! ¿Right? }:)
On other hand, I also wonder very often... ¿How different the world would be if people did not limit themselves to expressing only what they think others want to hear?
