But doesn’t that just show that he’s no longer incentivised to create quality content, so he’s just curating?

Good! We are getting closer to the point. Yes, he wrote that he is no more motivated so much in content creation and that he is happy about it. Why he is happy about it?

And If there’s no quality content to curate, then does curation even matter?

This question is made assuming that this is true:

• he is generating good quality content ✅
• everybody will be upset about him stopping posting it ✅
• all other good content creators will stop posting ❓

Lets assume that he is good content creator and most users like it and we skip the tiny thing about his big vote that motivates to vote for his post. 😉

What happens when there are less posts to vote for and he stop voting for himself?

Just a reminder that STEEM rewards are split between posts that receive the most votes.

What happens if 99% of content creators stops posting any content and there are only 1% left?

Do you think that whales are going to waste their votes and stop voting for those 1%? Knowing that they receive 50% from it. I doubt. 🤑
