The model @yallapapi is proposing is basically this:

The authors would actually be hired by the entity. Like a membership group. The entity would be financially supported with whale delegations, and its purpose is to be monetized beyond Steemit on the long run. Every writer is evaluated before he gets in, every entry is evaluated before being posted, and every post is upvoted with the account's SP. So, in the end, this entity will be auto-sufficient, will pay writers, will return money to investors, will grow its SP and be able to monetize itself beyond rewards with sponsored posts, ads, creating a mailing list, maybe premium consulting or other services...

Think of it as a business website/blog, not as a steemit account. But with a nice founding-returning mechanism from scratch and being able to be escalated.
