This is a good idea if it can be done. I suspect the issue is the complexity of implementing it in a way that can't easily be gamed.
"Discovering new high-value content that would have otherwise gone undiscovered is immeasurably more valuable than additional confirmation by a single curator that a popular piece is also subjectively valuable to them. The rewards should reflect this value differential more accurately."
100% agree with this - if a way can be found to do it without being easily gamed or making the system so complicated that it can't effectively be implemented then it would be fantastic.
