It's kind of a double edged sword. We are tiptoeing towards a token economy with web3.0 and we currently live in an attention economy. Tokenized attention is going to bring some people out of the woodwork, people willing to "peacock" to garner as much attention as they can.
How do we progress from where we are to a space where people are rewarded for engagement and attention, without promoting some of the worst personality traits humanity has to offer?
This is a very good point you make. Have you considered what happens when the people who are used to get attention, no longer get tokens?
The only way to reduce the worst, is to promote the best and disincentivize the bottom rungs of behavior.
