@charlieshrem you are definitely on to something, though I feel like you might be looking at the wrong blockchain to have an idea like that implemented. Its similar to what we propose for our upcoming blockchain for visual content creators. Specifically in PART 2.
Its similar to imagining Netflix or YouTube paying content creators or subscribers company stock (equivalent SP) just for subscribing to content creators or curating content that is getting individuals paid. It is actually excellent rewarding economics. You invest in the platform and its actual mass adoption growth, then really the platform should invest in you or at least encourage the action. But I think Steem would need a separate token. Steemians seem like they are locked into their rewarding economics that are current and for good reason. But another blockchain, specifically visual content creators would certainly benefit from something like this. We will see...
