RE: The Steemit account does not curate. Why?

- Maybe they should curate. They could try it on the test.net first. See what it does to the reward pool.
I'm not sure why they don't, but I lean towards the possibility that it'd completely fuck up the rewards pool, right?
Either way, testing it would surely be an interesting experiment to see!
Hey, @stuffbyspencer.
It definitely would be, and if it messed it up, fine. Don't do it. But I see a lot of conjecture thrown around why this should happen or that shouldn't, and it all gets very contradictory. So, let's prove it. Put it to the test where it can't hurt anything and see what it does.
I suspect, however, that it's not so much a rewards pool issue, as it is how it affects curation for everyone else, and when the bigger accounts are making most of their income directly or indirectly off of curation (through leased delegations), and the bid bot owners are doing the same thing, I think you have some powerful reasons for staying out of the curation game, even if you're already treading enough water that you're now running ads.
