likes = votes = payout, the problem is this isn't twitter facebook or reddit and has a backend that everyone should know. Newbies get on board vote 300 times and wonder where is their payout. Post once see 5 votes see they have to read 100 posts before they are a blogger and they can start building a following so after 5 years they can make a bang ? wellllll there is facebook like ,swipe people are there, youtube never lets you go facebook doesn't either :D
If I wasn't a fringe thinker I wouldn't be here. I like the content in youtube and I visit facebook once in a while, I'm just not a fan of endless scrolls and the bullshit they spill out, they keep their fanbase docile and make millions off their backs. So they promote the like and connection, but they sell you and sell to marketers nothing to like there. There is a chance here, but It has to be simpler either bring in the community together to house everybody, or yeah we can watch the voting ghost armies forever trails for life mining content rewards :D
