Imagine an economy where you had the option to EITHER give performers a tip OR take a tip from a performer.

Now imagine that when you take a tip from a performer, they're tip gets "redistributed" to the remaining performers, with the largest share going to the performers who earn the most tips.

Small performers will be heckled because there is no fear of retaliation.

Large performers will always reap the majority of the rewards kicked out of the hats of the smaller performers.

In the end, you're simply reinforcing an anti-competitive environment where the big fish use their position to only allow performances they personally approve of.

Sure, there may be some legitimately "bad actors" - but even they deserve some pretense of a FAIR public trial and some reasonable path to redemption.

Secret DISCORD kangaroo courts do not meet this standard.
