Additionally, the voting power "spend" is "curation". The requirement for curation is to make the votes, so no curation is lost - its more like velocity of money - the same curation but some of the rewards are rewarding the community for actions.
"Comments" is one simple action, but comments with conditions (answer questions, fill out survey, share experience/screenshot), can "make the community" work for that value, and potentially bring even more value to the project/community.
