Making curator rewards the "majority" of the pool is not necessary. Merely going back to the original 50/50 split would literally double every single user's curation rewards[note] while cutting post rewards by only 33%.

The original concept was that shifting rewards to posting would help distribute them more widely because most users would post. That has turned out to be completely wrong. Most users do not post significantly, they read and vote. As @dennygalindo said well, we need more 'Uber passengers' not 'Uber drivers'. (Truthfully we need both, but there is at least some clear incentive in place to attract 'drivers', much less so for 'passengers'.)

Rolling-back the incorrect reward shift is not all that is needed to attract more consumers, but it is a start, and something that is easy to do.

Note: Except those whose curation rewards are currently too small to pay out at all. Many of those would start getting rewards for the first time.
