If you curate newbies, then newbies can vote each other for 0.01-0.02 rather than relying on auto/blind votes to do so all the while they take a cut with the promise of votes as long as you delegate to them. The newbies can then also leave genuine comments that make for a better reading experience to others instead of just seeing command comments mostly or bots telling you they gave you your vote back. I find it weird how people are trying to justify these schemes in some of the most ridiculous ways when most of their workings all rely on the delegations and to maintain it they make sure to vote the delegators. I wonder what happens when people start putting an end to this with downvotes.

Please really think about the effects this has on the platform as a whole if more and more stake started doing this rather than putting the votes to use based on other merits that we should reward.
