I think the problem with that is that it will mean a lot of people make armies of bots that upvote things to steal the reward pool, but without investing a single penny into the platform.

I also like the idea, but unless there is an identification verification to prevent fake accounts and stolen identities, then it would result in even more bad actors gaming the system.

Page views aren't good, because then that gives an incentive to make really good click bait, with nothing of substance in the article.

At the end of the day, any system that tries to reward users with decentralization is going to run up against creative problem solvers finding loopholes and games to get around the intention of the system.
