What stops you from never deciding on a good answer and just using the service for free?
- DanielStraight 17y agoMy thoughts exactly. I think there would need to be some penalty for not paying out. Also, what if you WANT to pay out to multiple people? What if multiple answers were best? Also, if you know 100 people are going to answer, what is the sense in answering if only the best answer gets any money? What are your chances?
- pegobry 17y agoI've given my answer to the freeriding problem above: upfront payment, moderation, rep systems... Re: 100 people answering the same questions: I don't think that would be that big a problem, because questions are going to be specific. Take my use case scenario: at any given point on Twitter, there might be 100 people willing to answer questions about restaurants in Paris -- but about sushi places in a specific neighborhood? Much less likely.
