I started to type here, but it ended up WAY too long, so have actually made a post.

Basically, sneakyninja seems to do part of what you suggest, by allowing people to suggest others posts for promotion for the chance of a bit of personal gain. That's a great idea.

Unfortunately though, I can now see the repetition in a Mandelbrot kind of way of our own world. There are those who create the world with the best intentions, those that try and follow the creators idea and plan, and those that stand on the backs of all to reach the highest fruit and then take it for themselves.

With the influx of more users every day, some with a large backlog of creation and followers, and others just copying and pasting for the money.... I can see many talented people will be left to be lost in the quicksand of memes and others work.

I'd better stop now as this is threatening to get WAY too long again.
Good post!
