I don't think anyone should be paid for downvoting. It's just another way to use your voting power, and you're already rewarded for using it actively (let's ignore the fact that the current HBD Savings APR rewards passivity more than active curation for now). Besides, the higher stake you have, the more you (likely) care, and the more motivated you are to hit the downvote button once in a while.

I am not a huge fan of upvoting the burn posts, so I only curate user content. I guess it makes more sense with a higher stake though.

I guess supporting the return proposal is a must currently. I do not support HW at this moment, as I believe it does not bring the value it costs us.
