I expect that, if we moved to (or added) "arts/progress tax + pay by popularity" for paying authors/ artists/ scientists/ programmers/ etc., we'd have some bumpy years of trying to figure out how to do that fairly, followed by a long run of, well, more-or-less effective payment methods. If that's how we decide to pay them, we'll sort out methods that encourage them to produce good works.

I thought about Nielsen ratings when I suggested that you paye people to evaluate things.
The system does not have to be fair. The current system is not fair according to my fairness criteria. We only need some system that works and that is accepted by people. And to be accepted the system only have to appear to be not too unfair.
