Higher curation rewards would make bidbots less profitable. People will probably self-voting less often.

I'm sorry, but though your intentions may be good, you are either young or know very little about human nature. Actually, you know it will not work out the way you say, which is exactly why every post I've seen about this HF and Flagging, they always talk about flagging those who self-vote.
You think you can create by force an Utopia, but no dictator has ever managed it and they will not manage it here either. People will be idealists for a while, but they get tired of it and revert to their natural natures.
Which is why I have been trying to convince everyone that this is wrong and that it will kill Steemit.
The only good thing that might come out of this is that maybe someone who has the knowhow is watching and seeing how Steemit went wrong, they'll devise a healthy and practical platform.
The sublinear reward curve is about to exponentially crush all votes under the almost linear cutoff.
The little votes are about to count for even less.
Only flagging abuse not currently getting flagged will change that.
If they repeat the whale experiment, this might not be sooo bad.
