So maybe the solution is to just increase the percentage that goes to the later instead of the former?
This would just incentivize piling onto “trending” posts. It would not help with either content discovery or better distribution.
Voting on trending posts does not give you higher curation rewards (on the contrary). Voting on content that might "trend" is more profitable, regardless if curation gets 10%, 25% or 50%. I only vote on a trending post once in a blue moon for that reason. Increasing curation rewards would be an incentive for voting instead of posting.
Yes, I am aware of these points.
