Well obviously it's subjective, I'm just stating my opinion. I personally believe that content should be able to speak for it self, but one of the main hurdles so far is how hard it is to find content.
I do not want any central authority to dictate anything. I think the market will adjust with its own incentives and disincentives. It's a social platform after all, and social norms and 'rules' traditionally has more influence over people's decisions than actual laws and regulations.
So I read your response as - people can upvote themselves if they want, and the market will adjust incentives if they believe that person is being greedy and abusing the system. Sounds right to me
Yepp, basically. Thus post is a good example of the market reacting
