The competitive curation adds the single most stress to investors. It makes it tough because now you have to find good curators instead of just any curator. It's as if I have a limited amount of clients I can rent to as a homeowner. With flat curation, renting out becomes much easier to do as you can say hey look you'll make x in x time so I'm charging x amount. Hard to do that now because some people make 8% ROI and some makeover 20% ROI while curating, the swing makes the market making a headache. Also, forget about actually ever using the stake as a whale yourself for "fun" who wants to crackhead out and vote at 4mins or lose out on a ton of curation rewards? As I said, I'm willing to but 95%+ of other investors won't be willing to take that hit for the "long term good" of Hive.

Wasn't the curation curve supposed to be about "content discovery"? As in, those early curators would identify a valuable post and be rewarded for boosting it into Hot or Trending.
