Same. I have this fantasy where I wonder: what if all software became public domain, and you reward creators based on the GitHub stars a repo has, weighted by something like page rank?
Then I realized this could be extended to anything where there is a platform for rating the content creation, from books (Goodreads) to arts (deviant art) to deeds (Facebook and Twitter). Then my friend told me I had reinvented Whuffie, as presented in the book Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom...
The main problem with this idea is that the money for paying creators would probably have to come from the government, since who else would pitch in to support this? But hey, people talk about universal basic income, this is like a weighted version...
