I wonder what models can create incentive alignment when the output should be free - things like kids' games, education, research, food for the needy.

- boulos 6y agoPublic funding. If it’s a collective good, “we” should all be willing to contribute towards it.
- mkolodny 6y agoI agree that public funding is a great way to fund free products and services. The issue is that getting public funding is a major pain right now. It can take months of paperwork. And it's not really "we" who decide what to fund - it's one or more government employees. I'd love to see Participatory Budgeting take off. It would be awesome if we could all vote on which products and services deserve public funding. And it would be even better if we could use technology to decide what to fund much faster than we do today.
