Ideally, STEEM Power should be incentivized through consensus too, so that all frontends effectively promote STEEM Power. But there’s no reason why a particular frontend can’t take it upon itself to incentivize the platform’s fundamental unit of accounting.
I'm excited to see UIs play with gamification. There's not much of this right now and so much potential. Hive (and particularly hive communities) open a lot of options here, which I hope to explore once communities are live. In regards to consensus specifically though, I think megavotes alone would be a big reason to power up. It would allow users to see what their impact could be (I guess, roughly 20X their current max vote).
Megavotes really should be a thing. Not a lot of people has time to manually curate at least 10 posts per day and must upvote them at 100% so those people (that includes me) ends up delegating to other people (or bots) in order to not waste VP. Hope this included in HF22 (or even HF21!)

Plant trees with @treeplanter and get paid for it!
My Steem Power = 25086.44

Although not a UI, @paulag has been offering a small incentive to power-up for a year now, and with the help of @yabapmatt, @steemcommunity for 39 weeks.
Will Steemit offer any incentives to power up or charge a fee for features when Communities are initially launched? Eg. For promoting a Community, or to bid for popular community names? Communities are such a good opportunity to incentivize more power ups and create demand for Steem. I hope we take advantage of it when Communities are launched.
There's no immediate incentive, but it costs about 3 STEEM to create a community, and communities helps pave the way for further gamification. Communities themselves could choose to provide certain benefits for any criteria, including SP.

Can you explain the concept of megavotes? How do they relate to Communities?
The idea is that you could drain all your voting power with one vote (if you wanted to) and it would be ~20x stronger than a single vote today.

Encouraging and intensifying this action can only lead to good things!
Agreed
