This site is one of the most exciting places on the web IMHO and gets better by the day.
By virtue of it being so new and small, it actually represents pure human communication. Like the early days of the internet. Honest, natural, effortless.
I really hope we can get some defenses in place before the mass propaganda armies descend on us. There are already a few questionable accounts I think.
@k00b I for one am willing to pay a higher rate for honest discourse than a propagandist is willing to pay for my eyeballs. The challenge, I think, is somehow rewarding truth rather than emotion (twitter-style). Because sometimes bad ideas are compelling and the economics could get skewed.
Thanks!
Re: paying more. Eventually we will have subs with much higher fees (as determine by the sub operator) which should solve for this.
