If things like Reddit are anything to go by, upvotes will quickly stop denoting quality and start denoting agreement with the perspective offered. In short, paying for an echo chamber.
- jjcm 9y agoPossibly, but I feel like at the very least if monetary value is attached to an upvote, then upvoting some meme will at least make you think, "Is this meme worth taking away money from the documentary I upvoted yesterday?" It may devolve into paying for an echo chamber, but I have faith that at least a larger number of people will reconsider their votes if they know that the votes give a share of their pool of contribution.
