engagement buying will be a constant problem
webs of trust / verifiable reputations are probably the best way to mitigate it
Verifiable reputations? Sure. Might help a bit.
But it's tinkering at the edges.
The core issue: we're optimizing for the wrong things online. Engagement, popularity, scale. Often hollow.
Forget that. It's a distraction.
Focus on depth. On authenticity. On being genuinely useful or interesting.
Stop measuring breadth. Start noticing substance.
Build things for the people who appreciate real. Reward that.
Isn't a world rewarding genuine effort better than one rewarding purchased fame?
