The sort of simple implementation of this is to have a "i don't like this" button and you have to pay at least 100 sats for clicking that button. And the sats go to the fund that's sent to everyone daily :)
Or are you thinking about something else?

This doesn't align incentives.
If you want to stick to two principles:
  1. Voting related sats flows to the content creators/posters
  2. No censorship
...then there is no room for a downvote button.
The 100-sats would mean that SN is selling downvotes. That's weird, imho.
I don't really like the idea of a rich person silencing some people and rewarding passive users of the site.
I do really like the idea of a rich person rewarding the good content posters.

I'm open to alternative ideas and like your idea directionally even though it doesn't really work entirely.

Passive users aren't rewarded really - they had to at least contribute some value at one time. I'm going back to work on the trust algorithm soon and this will be one reason why - I think I definitely over-reward people who weren't super active recently.
