This would be terrible. People would milk the system as much as they could, only to become the most popular library, only to get most of the "pie". I guess Python/JS devs would get the most of it. Because their ecosystem is most fragmented. C++ or assembly devs? Nothing. I don't think this idea is thought out. Money corrupts things. There already is a "market" for stars. But if stars would indicate how much someone earns, it would be morbid. Well, in some way, I guess they already do, but it's linked at least indirectly.
