So if it is, on one hand, "collaborative" and it expects people to work for free, and on the other hand there is apparently so much value in putting misinformation on twitter, wouldn't most people that work on that be paid by the various parties that want to put misinformation on twitter?
You know how amazon reviews are collaborative and volunteer based and 99% of them are made for money and are easily spotted lies.

See here how Twitter automatically ranks reviews: https://twitter.github.io/birdwatch/diversity-of-perspectives/ https://twitter.github.io/birdwatch/diversity-of-perspective... > To find notes that are helpful to the broadest possible set of people, Birdwatch takes into account not only how many contributors rated a note as helpful or unhelpful, but also whether people who rated it seem to come from different perspectives. > Birdwatch assesses “different perspectives” entirely based on how people have rated notes in the past; Birdwatch does not ask about or use any other information to do this (e.g. demographics like location, gender, or political affiliation, or data from Twitter such as follows or Tweets). This is based on the intuition that Contributors who tend to rate the same notes similarly are likely to have more similar perspectives while contributors who rate notes differently are likely to have different perspectives.
