RE: Introducing Promoted Content
This solution reminds me of something ... AMP?

You can tell from our git commit history that we have been working on this concept long before the flood of AMP articles today.
Cool. I believe you and I won't go digging into the git :)
I am not saying who's idea was first. let's just wait and see how will it turn out here. Hope it works.
BTW: how about the idea that - let's say - every fifth post on any listing page / tag / topic is randomly picked from the pool of posts that are overlooked by the big voters. I would define 'overlooked' as less than X $ in last Y hours...
I'm not sure if its an idea that originated with @arcurus, but in one of his posts he mentions a possible lottery style front page, in which a post's payout would be proportional to its odds of being selected to be on the front page. This still makes highly popular posts appear on the front page, but also gives more visibility to overlooked posts. If you make it so that everyone's front page is different (and changes every time they reload the page), that solution provides more visibility in a way that scales up with the number of users.
No, it is my original idea.
Yes, something like this. The task is - find a way to systematically /randomly)display the overlooked post on a front page(s).
