I had proposed to bid-bot owners the idea of having manual eyes take a look at bids that are 20 dollars or more in order to make sure that what trended are not shit posts. Their should be a more regulated use of bots and people realize its proper use.

Again, as much as I would love to see 'all organic' I am not naive. The current system is just not tenable in the long-term or for a healthy community platform. The problem with manual curators is they need to be paid and that eats profits because they can't be coded into the 'law'.

but we know things will change with hivemind and communities.

My worry is it will just hide the issues, out of sight, out of mind.

I am open to many variations and suggestions but its current form is harming more than the pool, it is taking away the connections and engagement necessary to build a community in its foundational stages. Even if it distributes Stem, what will the community be filled with guitar guys?
