Actually paying based on traffic just opens uo A DIFFERENT ATTACK VECTOR that is more difficult for the little guy. If "greatness" means more people watch it....you are now going to bias content rewards based on who is willing to post the most popular echo chamber shit in the world of public opinion. "This lady cut off her husbands head" will ALWAYS get more views than "This lady teaches to plant a garden". Soooo we can act like you found the f*ing panacea but we would be lying to ourselves.

I'm by no means sufficiently naive to think that the simple weighting by views that I've described is a panacea. I think it's a better solution with its own tradeoffs, and nothing more.
I'm even open to the possibility that it proves to be totally incorrect, and will need adjustment. But I think that given the options it's the best possible route. Only time will tell.
Regarding your example, doesn't the traffic flow indicate that there's more demand for the cutting-off-head kind of information? I mean sure- that says some shitty things about humanity, but well, what can be done about that?
