You and dagger212 are right that there needs to be balance.
We don't want to make the place entirely robotic.
There's always going to be a place in any vibrant community for shitposting and fun.
But if those with large stake want the value of their investment to go up, they need more content that drives traffic/ad views to the domain.
And the best way to do that right now is to financially incentivise the type of content that will generate the most traffic.

Exactly, and that requires more manual (or AI-helped) curation. But the opposite is happening. Autovoting perpetuates always the same authors regardless of the value, true manual curation is time-intensive and AI algorithms we can´t afford (or can implement technically).
