This whole article could also have been written from the opposite political direction, it seems.
Is it an argument against downvoting in general? Or just paid-only downvoting I guess.
- f38zf5vdt 4y agoPaid downvoting has interesting incentives problems. For example, it's very attractive to foreign adversaries who want to amplify their own content via exclusion, or remove content they deem contra to their interests. These are issues with downvoting in general, but tying it to cash promotes the voices the with the most money. This is the sort of thing that Elon rails against the mass media doing.
