Wish I could upvote you twice for rephrasing what has been ruminating in my mind for such a long time. The problem is an economical assymetry: it 'costs' far less to produce content than to consume content so there is no incentive to be selective. What if we somehow could artificially constrain the supply-side?
- bravura 15y agoThis is exactly what I'm proposing. The idea revolves around creating a scarcity. I'm inclined to call it an artificial scarcity, but in some respects the scarcity is intrinsic in people's finite time. Simply put, you start with a certain number of "cool dollars". You spend them by promoting something. I'm still working out the mechanics so that the market has the desired properties. Maybe you get one dollar a day. Maybe you spend money to agree with someone's endorsement.
