In my opinion, community contributors whom getting paid via VOTE, should be getting paid from the "liquid" portion that doesn't affect KE ratings. Unless it's a curator account that getting paid from vote rewards, if that's the case, KE ratings can go 1000. I was language translator for #esteem back in the days, and am getting paid via votes. I always have this idea of keep the SP portion so I can grow, and one day I can vote for others too. Haha. Guess I have too much day dreams. Later I have joined the curator group, and decided to NOT make anymore progress post. So, technically I don't get paid on my translation work anymore, to avoid work post being "curated" 😂

Was just sharing a small portion of my curator journey and tell you where I'm coming from, why KE become a huge part of my curation consideration. It's not wrong for community contributors to have high KE, it's just that I'm not buying but that's all.
