Yes it is like a choice is being forced on people, curate or create, but never the two shall meet. I think we are showing them that is wrong you can curate, and create at the same time. The rewards are just not as high as concentrating on one or the other, but that is the monetary reward, the emotional feel good reward is a combination of both of them. It does not matter how many followers you have because of great content, if you do not take the time to interact with them, at least a few of them, your value is going to go down. That is why I always tell new users that they need to give at least one or two votes to real people that comment on their postings, if not, people after a while will just drift away, and leave your post commentless. (Which kind of sucks).
