I agree that eliminating the curation curve will make for a better hive blogging experience. We have 4 years of proof that incentivizing content discovery in this way just doesn't work. The techies just optimize voting to front run larger accounts on already-popular authors.
On the other hand, whichever way you go isn't going to move the price of HIVE. This is one of those rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic issues.
