Compensating authors directly according to popularity is a form of communism.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. More popular authors are the ones that sell the most and therefore it is Communistic to pay them more? When I last studied that system of government it seemed that writers were paid a certain amount. If they wrote correctly and sold they were allowed to keep writing, if not, other positions were found for them.
To reward one's efforts by the market reaction is a capitalistic method.
