More money for author rewards is better.
It is funny but this system would likely provide much more to authors of quality and more to the curators of quality.
Perhaps weighting rewards based on reputation?
Reputation is becoming increasingly irrelevant as because of bidbots, It can be bought.
Curators should get a incentivised for a higher return, currently, the average is between 15 and 20%.
It's impossible to flag bad curators as that hurts everyone else's content. However author rewards is a different matter.
