I think we should keep things simple and flat so creative things can be built on top. See TCP/IP. There could be for example a gambling app related to winning big votes. These things can already be done with transfers but I guess using vest and reward pool makes these things safer and part of the resulting reward is vested.
I am for removing the curation reward to make the economy system even more flat to incentivize builders.
You know full well about the added complexity of running a bidbot when a big part of the money is gamed into front-voting.

It’s hard to avoid the gaming, anything done most will try to game it as long as there is some benefit to them. The larger the benefit the more effort they will put into it.
Almost every solution has a simple work around that can be implemented quicker than a hard fork.
In my opinion is more herding the cattle closer to the greater good. It will never be perfect and everyone will not play ball.
If you mean for every attempt at forcing people to curate will be gamed before the fork is even live I agree.
We already know downvotes cannot abused for self-rewarding and will therefore be used for the greater good as seen by stakeholders.
