Not necessarily.

Maybe, more large scale content curation projects need more support and I think we can balance the scales. As an early adopter, a lot of minnows certainly join Steemit to spam and earn money so that does put off a fair amount of curators from curating new content entirely. As their votes can be countered with a flag when the content is found to be plagiarised therefore wasting vp altogether.

I'm hopeful of a greater balance and co-existence if the platform doesnt want to lean more towards manual curation once again in the future.
