I'd say a big YES with the caveat that the structure chosen be highly visible in the newsfeed. The structure should be known prior to drilling down into an article. It could also be a criteria that could be used to filter content. I think this approach would really show that a person owns their own content, for the benefit of the curator or not. Curators at that point can decide on whether or not it's worth their time to consume it.

Some examples at the extremes: A charity blog could crank curation all the way down to maximize support for the charity, while a benevolent orca or whale could crank the curation reward all the way up as a way of giving back to followers. There is a valid business case for each end of the scale.
