Could this be a potential instance operator stake pool tie-in?!?! That would be an excellent application for increasing the revenue of the instance operators and it would also force each instance to become more reliable.

This prospect obviously excites me but I do remember a recent argument I read about the Cobra Effect. A game-theoretically designed voting reward/punishment system based on real-life rewards would have a massive effect on current dynamics of interaction. It would also help regular people earn money from creating decentralized community that is free from advertising influence.
