A new approach to Content Reward Allocation

Well, the fact that this post has almost $1k in upvotes in 7 minutes without a comment is rather telling that something needs to be done. I would like some clarification - it may be obvious but I missed it in the post.

Why, and do you think the proposed method would produce a significantly different result? I don't. The post happens to be thoughtful, well written, and relevant. There is no reason for it to not get a high score and payout.

The problem only really comes up when a "good" author makes a "bad" post, and even then it is unproven whether people wouldn't still downvote it and kill the rewards (and the voting power of those who stupidly upvoted it)

I guess that did come across as "this post shouldn't be upvoted" which isn't what I meant at all. I just had some, what appeared to me, pretty obvious questions that hadn't been asked by anyone yet.

I also stated that I did not think the proposed method would fix the issue. The "please don't upvote this" post comes to mind with exactly what you describe. Good author, bad post.
