I would love to see something like this happen, basically force Facebook and Twitter to become boring message boards that require some higher quality forms of engagement to reach a broader audience (if reaching a broader audience should even be possible).
The problem is that Yyu'd essentially be killing one of the primary revenue generators for these companies, which are already built on top of fundamentally unsustainable business models in terms of actually managing content. The thing is that you'd have to define what exactly "high-emotion" posts are and how content will be assessed, which is effectively a form of censorship.
