If curation rewards are zero, will curation change? If they are 100%, only as a thought exercise, what would curation look like? I don't get what you're saying here:

The larger you make curation rewards the more I am going to care about what I am walking away from by manually curating.

It's the same thing you said earlier but without any reasoning backing it up, it seems. You're saying that if curation rewards are 50% "the more" you're going to care about going to bots? Or the more you're caring about the content that won't be organically curated, well actually curated as everything else isn't curation at all, it's a complete invalidation of what curation stands for, in essence, in function, in any kind of aspect.
