I agree, it makes sense that people should have some stake in the game to get good curation votes.

However, more than half the Hive rewards each day are given out as either DHF projects, HBD interest and defending the HBD peg. The situation has blown so out of whack now that the DAO is nearly 50% of the Hive Market Cap and growing!! This would be the first thing to go after than someone getting a $10 upvote imo.
