Do not bank on curation rewards. Voting is not a way to make money. Period. Go here https://steemviz.com/pendingpayouts look at any account you want, NO ONE MAKES THAT MUCH ON UPVOTES ANYWAY! Focus on building audience and producing good content.

Apologies, I shouldn't have used the word 'payout', I was assuming that high value payouts indicate users with the bigger accounts, which is wrong. What I was trying to suggest is voting with discernment to ensure support for all levels of user, as opposed to merely voting on posts that are are well written and interesting. Personally, I would vote on all your posts (and a few other users who have high value accounts) because I enjoy and appreciate the quality and content, but I realise now that I need to consciously spread my vote power to support users with smaller accounts whose posts I also enjoy and appreciate, so that they can grow in the community.
Perhaps multi emoji 'Likes' could be employed as seen on FB. One could then Upvote and/or Invest in the Post/Comment.
No, only vote on quality content, otherwise, you just divvy up the prize pool with no real purpose. The entire reason for it is to encourage quality content so that steem is based on a knowledge base filled with great art, information and stories. Your suggestion would merely encourage more mediocre content, creating the system we have now where trusted curators and bots are put into effect to upvote content that's not complete crap. I'm not saying don't vote someone with potential,but if they're just shitposting memes, they either need to add value, or go home.
Okey dokey, I'll make a note of this and try keep it hidden from my rebellious side.
That's what #dolphinschool is working on too, improving the content they offer, so that we CAN in good conscience, upvote them.
