> You might be able to help others make/turn their work into money Of course it's possible but it introduces a level of indirectness. Once you have indirectness, it becomes harder to measure your impact. Fields where one's impact is hard to measure tend to attract BS artists who use the ambiguity to their advantage, to claim that they are worth more than they really are. The algorithm you are thinking of will fail unless it has some way to empirically measure impact, in which case the algorithm would be trivial.
