Showerthought on Promoted Content

It's a great implementation, first and foremost.

How I would do it

let people add their posts as promoted, but take all "promo" votes/money and burn it.

As I understand it, paying for promo is a nice boost, but you can use it without paying a cent, and if your content explodes it's no better than hot or trending.

So, make Hive account@null part of multi sig, and if the author decides to promote content, burn all of the generated money.

Makes sense?
