With 100k SP I would be even more interested in Steem becoming a great success and in my opinion trying to reward authors the way they deserve helps with making Steem a better place. An increace of the curation rewards would not change my answer but could motivate me even more to search for good posts and vote for them.
Why are authors the key to Steem's success?
Good content improves the visibility of Steem(it) in Google and other search engines and could bring more traffic and potentially more users. If users see that good content gets a lot of upvotes, they are more likely to produce good content for our system. Also they are more likely to tell their friends about Steem. I don't know if that's the key alone because there may be other keys to success like games on Steem or a combination of many things.
