The Reciprocal Sticker System (renewed idea from the Golden Sticker)

The reciprocal sticker is my imaginary system addressing this problem:

Sometimes creators/authors created the kinds of solutions that are just not worth going through the official intellectual property protection procedures, or they were just too reluctant to go through the process.

Therefore, in the mean time, why not social media companies do this:

Allow Creators, Authors, Content Creators to put their mark ("sticker") in people's profile page for a tiny cost.

Everytime a person contributes goods and services or money to the authors, the authors could opt to leave their sticker as a sign that the person has been a reciprocal person. 

The benefit of having these stickers in your profile page is, that they could be signs for other creators that it is a good idea to give you easier access to their own goods and services (because you are a reciprocal person). 

For the creators especially the small ones it is an extra way to get income from day to day people, instead of having to wait for a break from a big corporation.

While we, when we check on other people's profile page, we could tell what are the things that our network appreciates and what better ways we could contribute to it.
