interesting view. I agree that the monnetary incentives can really change the way we would behave naturally.

what exactly do you mean by vote gaming?
these king of "vote4vote" things and groups being formed to upvote each others articles?

don't you think the platform can suceed in the long run?
isn't it better than facebook for example, where you have to pay for the people that follow you to see your posts (in case you have a page) ?

have a great day!
