If the experiment is 'successful' - your upvotes will go up by quite a bit more than that. If you are doing a 'good job' of curating (finding posts that are quality content, which end up getting a lot of upvotes from users after you find it) then you will probably earn more in curation rewards under the new system. Not saying this is the case, but if your only curation strategy was to front-run whales, then in that case you would not do good.
