I left a few comments on your post that you expanded on from this comment so i wont go on for long.

Ill just say that Curie is a cog in the system that should be, not the one that is right now. And its amazingly effective at what it does.
Just for a thought experiment, in the long run, if by any chance curie had all the delegations the bots have, we would all be far better off. The trending page would be populated with high quality content, the general consensus of the outside world would be that this is a place of high value (not the complete opposite), people would come here more, and the Steem price could possibly rise above the speculative practices of crypto since this is atm the best place for a layman and the general public to get acquainted with crypto.

Just something to think about. ;)
