Based on the article on Medium, it appears that often-refunded articles disappear from the site. Isn't this a potential vector for censorship? Well-funded adversaries (or well-coordinated activist groups) could use multiple accounts to "game the system" and eliminate undesirable content.
Hopefully this is addressed somehow. Otherwise it's a fantastic idea.
- JeanMertz 11y agoThey "disappear", as in, they won't show up at the front of your timeline. They can still be accessed and/or searched for. We also have selected curators who can promote articles worthy of your time, and a daily mail that highlights the articles we believe are interesting to you. Gaming the system is something we're always watching out for. This is indeed something that we'll continue addressing as we learn.
- iamnothere 11y agoThanks, glad to hear that you're thinking about it. Hopefully you won't encounter that sort of manipulation.
