The same whales who are complaining the rewards from blogging aren't being fairly distributed. I hear @ned is looking for ideas like this so I'm offering up an idea as an alternative to what I viewed as a really bad idea they are considering. I also hear @smooth and some other whales also have these sorts of views.
Honestly I don't disagree with them that there might but a problem but I do not want to punish the current top bloggers to help the next gen to get attention. I think the idea I propose would be the most fair way I can think of to resolve the underlying problem but honestly I don't expect my idea to be picked up.
I don't fully understand how it would work, but get the gist, and it seems like a valid possibility. More than anything, I think it's neat that very process- and system-oriented are not just standing there complaining or crying foul, but are presenting possible workable solutions. Also very encouraged to know that @ned, @smooth and others are looking for ideas like this. It's cool to watch the platform evolve.
