I think it is less about incentivizing good, and more about fostering authenticity.

Does this run into problems though with anonymity?

We also live in a society where having more is cherished. Accumulation trumps circulation. Whether we accumulate likes and follows, or zeros in our bank account.

Yeah, consumptive collectors.

I believe that in reality. People want to create authentically. And want to be acknowledged for their creations. They want to contribute something of value from their true passions and experience.

I think that the lack of creativity is part of their problem. Everyone drinks from the same well and is encouraged to think the same thoughts. Not a lot of room for creative passion.

The question then is how to encourage and reward authenticity in all forms.

My thinking is we shouldn't. Authenticity should be its own reward but, people don't want that burden on their shoulders
