This is nothing more than an organized mafia based on subjective opinions and your website is just a tool to rally the villagers to go attach others that don't meet whatever standard whales have.

This is nothing like it, if you red up on it you can trail whomever you want and set your own standards. I don't "rally" anyone, everyone is free to follow anyone and do whatever they want. It's like a hammer, I give it to you and you're free to do whatever you want with it. It's a tool. You could set it up to attack me for instance.

This "proof of brain" in it's current form is garbage because it's not really "the community" that decides what is good content and what is bad. It boils down to the guy with the biggest wallet that chooses what is good and what is bad. That's not "proof of brain" it's "proof of wallet influence".

Oooh my god, in all of our interactions this is the first time you've made some sense. I agree proof of brain linked to stakeholders is not ideal. But whales are not the only entities on the chain, if you put dolphins together they can quickly challenge a whale's voting power.

You say "which users? How about:

Imo it's not as much as "good" and "bad" content as much as what is over or underrewarded. This is over rewarded for instance.

I know you cleverly used one of the reasons on the list of "suggested reasons" to downvote someone, but why did you disagree with the rewards?

Thank you for saying I'm clever <3

Anyone can come up with whatever reasons they want to downvote, it's a tool, you're free to do whatever you want with it.

Because you thought @roxane's post was not up to your standard?

Exactly

You see, social plateforms are about sharing. Not every post needs to be some earth shattering photo, thought, or blog on "how to fix things".

And not every post should recieve 4$ of payout. I am fine with her sharing whatever she wants, I am not fine with her getting money for it.

This mafia website plan of yours will only discourage people from sharing and will make people walk on egg shells and eventually just leave. Soon, you'll have only about 100 left here...to appreciate all your superficial selves.

Again, a mafia is an organisation, I do not ask people to join me using this tool, I gain no power from them using it, anyone is free to do anything they want.

I don't think people will walk on eggs, they will just be okay with receiving less/no rewards because they know it's not good content and just some random pic that they found funny somewhere.
