There certainly is a system where one person one vote is the intent

Actually I can't think of how to design such a system if the money is taken from a shared pool that is charged to the collective.

The only design I can think of which is one-user-one-vote and doesn't devolve into either a winner-take-all Sybil attack (which is even the case when votes are free such as on Reddit) or no curation at all due to optimum monetary strategy of voting for yourself always, is tipping from your own funds, which has been shown numerous times to not work psychologically.
