Thank you for bringing attention to this not a small issue. The rat race is the main problem that can happen in a project like this. Maybe a system where will be allowed to the poster to rank comments can help to better determine their quality.
People will not be better by themselves unfortunately, we need to force the need for a better algorithm. We are part of a system that evolves and we, as a community, are the force that can help in evolution with our ideas and initiatives. This post is a quality stepping stone.
There are quality posters here that earn pennies and there is this guy that earns pretty well. Something isn't right.
Thanks for stopping by.
Yes I agree that the algo has some problems, they aren't easilly fixed though.
Programmable money gives us some benefits, it's high time we start really thinking of ways to use it.
Cheers
