This is in the same vein as simply giving the content creators more control of their property. Another idea I've had on this front is optional curation on a sliding scale.

If anyone can choose the curation for their content (0%-100%) it will make this place much more interesting. On top of that, Resteems are super important for getting more views. A referral code could be given to resteemers and users who click their resteem are tracked to them. This would allow us to start curating (distribute visibility) in more ways then one.

At it's core, curation is sharing income in exchange for visibility and we could be doing it a whole lot better.
