What if there is a dedicated account powered by Steemit Inc's unused SP that is strong enough to deliver a daily $10 worth upvote to white listed users all over Steemit, will it help to maintain the good content creators of this platform?

To a large extent, this already happens.

Steemit Inc delegates over 13m Steem Power out to the content creation platforms (dApps) that operate on the Steem blockchain. 

The delegation is made through the misterdelegation account. This includes (but is not limited to):

  • SP 2m: dTube, Utopian, Oracle-D
  • SP 1m: Musing, SteemPress, dSound, Tasteem, Fundition, Steemhunt

These content creation (or task-orientated) dApps then reward their users, generally based on the recommendations of some kind of moderation team or wisdom-of-the-crowd information.

The moderation approach removes the need for a whitelist. A whitelist approach could reduce quality if users became complacent once they made it onto the whitelist. It could also be perceived as unfair and potentially lead to lots of arguments as to who should be on the whitelist.

I think that continued expansion of this amount of delegation to new platforms would be beneficial. However it needs to be remembered that there is only so much in rewards to go around. There thus needs to be a balance between Steemit Inc funded rewards and rewards generated by other SP holders and investors. 

A sudden increase in Steemit Inc funded rewards would result in a sudden decrease in rewards generated by all other users. So the process delegation process should proceed gradually and only be given to the best platforms.

But broadly I think that this fulfils the same aim as your suggestion, just with a little more control and fairness.
