I always thought the idea of curation was to find quality content and upvote it so others would notice it?
This is like gambling for curation hoping that if you microvote on something that everyone else will upvote and reward it. Therefore reward you because you guessed it was good.

That's good curation, there is little to no good curation on Steemit. There are a lot of accounts (big and small) that blindly vote all posts or a subset of them to get curation rewards. There is actually a bot called Winfrey that does exactly that.
It's not ideal, but it is harmless, and a free vote is a free vote. The entire curation system is broken at its core.
I actually read the post and comments I vote on. I enjoy reading good content. I almost never upvote post with big rewards from bots. Its seems like a lost cause.
I have a small amount of auto voting that I do. It is about 10% of my stake.
I agree with you the system is broke, but has it ever been fixed?
It seems all coding is like that. Then they can charge the users to fix it! Its some crazy shit but somehow the computers only lack one thing. GOOD CODE!

We are left treating symptoms using means from the current system because people who can actually change things refuse to budge.
