If every user started doing this, then there would be no social platform at all. Everyone would collect their 50%(ish) in curation for voting these and no one would actually vote for content. This doesn't sound like a good way to grow the ecosystem. The fact that more whales are now joining this instead of actually looking for quality content is likely terrible for growing the ecosystem. Sure it soaks up a little supply, but at what cost?
