Nice video :) Maybe you can appeal for people to delegate SP to the Utopian account so that it can be used to reward contributors. Might be a easier sell than donations. A delegation tool on utopian would make it easier. The utopian account could vote on contributor reports programatically so that it uses its max voting power per day. Similar to a bot but only for contributors posts.
