RE: Vote Negation? Flag Review Council? Other Solutions?

in #flagging • 8 years ago (edited)

A lot of good written there, I just wanna point to what my concern over the incentives for council members actually was

People who want to help the community will do it for free.

Likewise, politicians will be politicians for "free". But you still might end up with politicians that make money on the voters much in the same manner as Facebook makes money from its user base, by selling their voters/users consent/attention to highest bidders. (Same way as a certain policy in the U.S. might be promoted to "keep bad banks out by regulating the market" or to "make healthcare affordable", when in fact that is only how they advertize to the voters, something that a specific company or a ring of establishment companies wants the government to implement)

Anyways, not that I have any solution to that issue or that I at all know it would happen, but that's the risk I was saying exist. Slim as it might be/seem.
