I think this is a great idea! I also think that this, and such other initiatives are necessary going forward, because as this platform grows bigger by the day, its going to become increasingly difficult for new posters to get any meaningful following.
Look at what happened to Twitter /FB, hell even the app stores suffer from the same issue even though they serve a very different type of content.

Content creators that can bring their followers with them from other platforms might have a better chance, but even then it will still be hard.
