I like the idea.
Also the publish0x way of tipping looks really cool.
You have X number of votes per day, you should give to other at least 20% of the power.
But I would prefer something simpler, I think we should really change the "POWER UP" name to staking. Everyone in crypto knows what STAKING is. And then yes, you get x% of the rewards regardless of how good you are discovering content.
Regardless of the name, it should be more straightforward for people to make money with their HIVE. Expecting exchanges to power-up their stake and delegate it to 3rd party curation service is ludicrous.
Agree 100%.
