Why can't you just curate people without the token burn mechanism in between? Do you think other projects should actively do the same as well? Why do you feel the need to add this utility to the token when there's plenty of other reasons one would want to curate certain users involved in a community or a project?

If tokens were given out for free it'd be one thing, but if you have to delegate or buy the tokens to then burn them to be considered for a votes it's just selective vote buying in the end anyway that benefits your project extra compared to another project which also has tokens but doesn't encourage people to burn the tokens in order to receive hive upvotes.
