I think that yes it would be nice but I also fear that the downside is that it may create a fealty effects where followers tend to upvote and back up their "leaders". Twitter already exists, we don't want a another one. I even suspect that it has been thought of and rejected for that very reason. Anyway there are workarounds if you really want that but let's not make it too easy either.

Your point is extremely relevant, whether building the ultimate society, or simply meeting immediate needs. Thinking it through, we find that following the leader has trifle benefits but great potential for harm. Thinking it through further, we find following the leader valuable only to help build, and to never degrade, our personal autonomy.
