There is barely any voting power left to be used to curate let alone curate freely. Curating for content is going to diminish more and more over time when people start curating dapps for distribution of tokens.

This isn't much of a "gang" than people sharing a similar view of what kind of content they enjoy reading and writing and wanting a more fair shot at earning stake through their content than what someone like a dev may be getting just for having coded a bid bot a year ago.
