curation guilds help users who want to grow their steem power by earning rewards using voting power they did not purchase, but is loaned to them by the very few who have 90% of the steem power, it's not only about bloggers earning rewards. Users with the perception that they have more fair ability to distribute and recieve rewards rather than having to wait on a hand out from a "whale bot" improves the user experience and eliminates the complaints about centralization of power. There will always be too many content creators, because creating content is not hard

I definitely would not gift any steem or sbd, and would not expect or wnat any gift from anyone unless the gift was being distributed to hundreds of others and myself at the same time
