But human curation can be bought/influenced. So, in your system, influential curators could be influenced by advertisers to display certain links in their list of bookmarks?
- sheraz 10y agosure. And good for them. The curator risks his own reputation by promoting sponsors with poor content, products, or services that are not relevant to the audience. I don't mind advertising/marketing so long as it is relevant and timely.
- bmer 10y agoThat's assuming the payments were to include something in the list. Influence can also work the other way: take something off of a list.
- sheraz 10y agoyeah so what. that is the privilege of having power, you can exchange it for other forms of power. And again, credibility is at stake. If I curate a list of awesome cloud providers, and IBM pays me to exclude AWS, then I look like an idiot.
