I don't know. Attaching money to a voting system incentives posting easily consumed material. Just look at reddit's front page; can you imagine what it'd look like if one could make real money instead of worthless "karma"? How would such a system handle downvotes? Would users pay out for badly voted content? If not, where does the original money come from? As mentioned above, the social aggregator business model is terrible and unsustainable.
