This is a hard problem to solve for a long list of reasons. For example, what kind of party should facilitate this system of remuneration? One of the big boys (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft) or some start-up in publishing? If we want a system that works for any publisher, that will become a really important player with access to some really interesting information (what kind of thought pieces someone reads; that's a data mining gold mine!) and a lot of influence.

Also, wouldn't providing users with incentives to share articles get us back to the clickbait articles we want to avoid?
