what if votes and pending payouts were hidden, encrypted, and only revealed at payout time?

There is a large growing group of us that believe payout time is the only time a post should reveal its value, even if it is only on the GUI. But encrypting it on the chain could work too!

If all posts are seen as equal in value (no value shown), they are more likely to receive proper curation.

While a post is going viral with popularity, I don't want to see if it is at $1.21 or $1,532 because I know a lot of less knowledgable curators are going to chase the $1,532 post, and ignore the $1.21 one simply by glancing at the current $ value as a sole indicator.
