RE: The Steemit account does not curate. Why?

What is the point of having more than 33 million Steem Power, if they are not doing anything with it, other than Powering it Down?
They should definitely do something good with it.
Maybe they should curate, but at least they should delegate some of their Steem Power to project/dApp developers, and/or to good dApps.
Maybe they should (at least sometimes) give (even some small) upvotes to new and old users to encourage them to use the platform.
A lot of people's posts are not seen, and the user retention of Steemit is very bad.
Many people are left and still leaving Steemit and the whole Steem blockchain.
Or maybe the Steemit account should upvote interesting and quality contents, including posts about project/dApp development to support project and dApp developers.
Or maybe they should upvote quality, meaningful, real, human comments to encourage real, human interaction on the Steem blockchain, but especially on Steemit. Nowadays the real, human interaction on Steemit is rare.
Or maybe the Steemit account should upvote contests, giveaways, and photo and other challenges.
All of these would support certain groups on the Steem blockchain, and also the whole community of Steemit and the Steem blockchain.
The Steemit account probably should at least delegate some of their Steem Power to project/dApp developers, or to good dApps.
For example dPoll, Steem Monsters (Splinterlands), SteemWorld, Musing, TokenBB.
If they would delegate some Steem Power to project/dApp developers and/or to good dApps, then that would actually help the whole Steem blockchain.
Hey, @xplosive.
Sounds like you and I are pretty much on the same page. I'm coming at it from the aspect of what could be beneficial to Steemit Inc from a revenue earning perspective—the Steemit account should be able to generate a bunch of curation, but could also do some other things to generate income.
And they could certainly allocate more to delegation, which they already have over 18 million in SP going to various different dApps and other projects. Musing had one until it was pulled. I'd wholeheartedly agree that steemworld is should get one.
The power downs are back to what they believe they need to pay people. I don't think what they earn as a massive holder of SP is enough to keep up with what they take out. The larger amounts they were powering down because of the potential hard fork incident has stopped. Eventually, though, unless their revenue increases, they will run out of SP in all of their accounts.
So, everything you say there would be great, and better if they were generating income from it.
