Yeah I know that hehe, and I understand what you're saying, it's a good idea. I have also heard of it before, so I agree it's interesting to discuss more. If it wasn't a steemit post, it was someone else's post, or I dreamed it up. But the additional info you add here, that was proposed in the proposals I think, to allow different kinds of reward allocation methods. It might have only been suggested as an idea and not a formal proposal at the time.

These are good alternative to rewards people in different ways. If an author has the choice to do so and rewards more engagement that they want from their own rewards, I think this is not something anyone would object to implementing since it's completely voluntary to choose your own payout options. Thank you again for suggesting this and bring more attention to the idea.
