Maybe but I'm confident that it will also give people plenty of motivation to police the network, and the saved mana could be effectively used to counter flag abuse. I really hope that this change happens simply because we will have some data to evaluate, more or less. I'm not satisfied with it as it is, I think that bidbots are a huge turn off, more than abusive flagging, and the only thing worse is self voting/shitposting and circlejerking being right there, all these things are done for profit and because the risk/reward ratio is skewed to one side. If the risk increases then surely we can see a healthier outcome than simply profit maximizing at the expense of user retention and overall engagement.
