The whole point of paying curators is to give the entirety of Curie holdings back to the community, there is a large amount of infrastructure involved with operating Curie, and the main point is not to support self voting, nepotism and to maintain the highest level of integrity. We do not vote for witnesses as it stands, in order to maintain our integrity such that Curie is not accused of being bribed or otherwise for a witness vote, we do not support anything which is quid pro quo that could damage the reputation within the community. With the introduction of community votes, Curie has followed communities like SteemSTEM and has given 100% of curation rewards earned from the followed votes back to these individual communities. It seems like you've already made up your mind about Curie being selfish, however the fact is that we have dedicated ourselves to give back as much as we can to grow the Steem community with an amazing team of curators, reviewers and sub-communities all of which I am personally proud to be apart of.
