Tiered remuneration based on a judged quality metric is one possible approach to this.
Another approach would be to open a specified number of journalist / creator slots and fund those to a living level (perhaps in addition to the consumption metric). As with many other complex work-products, very short-cycle quality metrics tend to be little better than noise. I believe Cathy O'Neill's written or spoken on this.
Clickbait would result in a low revenue tier.
I've fleshed this out in more detail, my proposal is substantially the same as others have proposed, including Phil Hunt (Pirate Party UK) and RMS, whom you may have heard something of recently, as well as mentions-in-passing by Joseph Stiglitz and others.
