It's a nice idea, IMO, but you'll need to convince a lot of people. Besides, this affiliate thing doesn't really work as people are saying it.

But overall, the idea of buying back steem is genius. Only that the source of funds is where the million-dollar question is asked.

I'm making a research on this and will present my findings soon. I think it's high time we started an ecosystem on steem. If steem has other apps that can offer one value or the other, we'll definitely have increased demand for steem outside steemit.

I also thing steem can have strong DAO like maker, it must not been for steemit but probably for a new app but this DAO will be a collective of innovative and product driven minds who understands crypto, finance, social media and Web3.
