Exactly! I thought it was working in a similar way like Patreon. You change your USD or whatever into steem and then vote with this money.
When curating on the good and popular stuff you would be lucky and get a return for your curation on top and if you voted for the wrong content you would be the unlucky one.
Wait a second... that is actually a pretty good idea... Maybe I should create my own social media platform which will work like this ;)
