Why does everybody think I don't understand voting power and curation rewards?
Here's free advice: the only reason low voting power might affect your curation rewards is if it's so low that you miss curation rewards due to rounding errors. I'm pretty safely above that level.
Low voting power is not a penalty, people! It's just a rate limit.
