Millions of accounts on “private” at $8/mo each

  The question of thresholds is interesting: if it required a large number of votes it wouldn’t be very effective. If it doesn’t, it’s too easy to game — and even a million accounts doesn’t seem like a high bar since it could easily be rented for many votes. A large ad agency or PR firm could do that - promising all of their clients the ability to bury bad news (thinking of how much Johnny Depp alone paid) – and it’d be really easy to imagine, say, the Catholic or Mormon churches, Scientology, etc. recruiting members or even funding their Twitter Blue memberships.
