Yea, I'm in the list and I still think that there is no need to split the rewards. To my mind it's necessary when somebody is featuring a single article, like putting the whole text out there. In other cases I think the exposure is a fair "payment" enough. And it doesn't matter that usually the post with the "top list" gets more likes than featured posts. I believe it's more because the author who is featuring has his or her own follow and not everyone who would like upvote him/her would bother to also upvote the featured articles, but someone will, and that's exposure!
