What needs to be done is this, I call it Karma:
A Backend HIVE platform that works as a FrontEnd website like Hive.vote, etc. You log in, and it has a Rich List, and all the Richest Users are there. Then a Karma ranking, maybe tabs for these rankings too.
Most Newest People Helped (algorithm of Time for New Users on Platform, HIVE voted out) then that could be expanded to most contributed and each person could gain from their Curation Trail, giving the Trails rankings basically by having members ranked.
The argument against this is that it hurts the quality of content,
But I would argue that HIVE is fairly low grade, almost 3rd World, along with Steemit and BLURT, so paying people for high participation and funding content from those users while upping their standard of living, will make the platform better. By having wealth among the most active users and not only the most legacy or wealthy users, you raise the ability for the platform to raise the baseline. Which is very low currently.
