This seems to me as a very good initiative and I really hope that more human curated content and rewards are distributed rewarding your time and effort to find or write unique and good quality content and comments. Being comments one of the things many have stopped doing as it is pretty much useless unless you are self voting yourself or you better try and make a post and will probably make more rewards from that. If we really want to change #newsteem it has to be every individual attempt to make this a better place.
