That seems like a good idea, but i am afraid that it is very hard to realize, at least not with some serious coding behind about who is and who is not elligible for the reward. Hard to put a line i guess? Its easier to let the people choose with upvotes even if it mean that the upvotes are "shared" between the whales.
You are exactly right, this was more of a wish on my part than something that would probably ever happen. I just thought if enough people liked the idea it might be looked at by someone who could do something about it.
