Yep ... the new trybes are making curation interesting. I also find my self searcing for content a lot more then before.... usualy end up on the hot posts...
The system above sounds interesting, maybe a bit complicated at first :) But making a curation a job to people is a great thing .... curators/moderators should be put in place and get rewarded for their job. Just need to find the right system :) .... transparency should have a big role
It's interesting to consider the differences between the job of a museum curator, who is paid a salary to select content to promote, and a curator on Steem, who is paid by their ability to profit from specific recommendations, upvotes, on content.
The former creates financial incentive to recommend only content of high social value, and the latter instead encourages promotion of content which best enables extraction of financial rewards.
