Does a "recommendation platform" exist yet? Where users are shown content by recommenders who can bid with points on their attention time, receiving points if the user liked it, and losing points if they didn't? With a general enough interface that both bots and humans can recommend content?

This sounds vaguely like Steemit, but not quite.

I like the idea. You should build it!

I will try! The biggest problem will be to get the incentives right
I've always thought it would be an interesting twist on the upvote mechanism to allow users to "spend" their karma. So if I receive three upvotes, I can spend three upvotes by either upvoting three stories once, or upvoting one story three times.
At least with downvotes and bounties, that's how it works on the StackExchange sites
