I do wonder about some sort of partnership with the people using your platform might be good. What if the top 10,000 people got a proportional share of this cash towards their contributions. Stack overflow wasn’t made just by those who have shares in it...

As far as I understand it, that's the key idea behind DAOs

I still want a payday (and because of that incentive this is why decentralised almost always fails vs a centralised focused startup) but if one of my users writes 50,000 stack overflow answers (or whatever) they deserve a piece of the pie IMO.

I keep thinking of ways to encourage this. I guess treat your customers/users like employees - have a vesting schedule based on number of winning answers or some other relevant metric for your app.
