Greatly put together. I agree with everything you said. You made some solid points.

I myself try to upvote as much as I can and think that it is important for the success of Musing for users to bring up the quality in answers or questions with their upvotes. If not the value, then at least by quantity.

My SP is so greatly stretched out already with everything I do on Steem so sometimes I just dont have the VP but, I at least try to upvote a question that I find interesting enough to answer.

But we shouldnt forget that we need to upvote more answers also .A couple hundred users are smarter than a team of 5 curators.
