Tipping is not a revolutionary concept, nor is it a tool for empowering individuals.
In fact, any economy that embeds tipping ends up regretting it and using it as a way to exploit naive workers to pay them less.
In social media, tipping(zapping) provides a very low-value, noisy signal, and is not very useful to people or algorithms for curation.
So, calm down about zapping and try solving real problems.
You’re wrong John. Zaps are the signal.
I more agree than disagree that tipping isn't a good mechanism for coordination, which is an unpopular opinion here.
And I do zap sometimes but I don't think it's a big deal.
The same 'pipe', that is, zaps, could be used for other mechanisms than tipping, though.
That's the point. We don't want algorithms. Meanwhile those with dissident views are migrating here because the don't have to self censor and can still be paid. Perfecting peer to peer interactions and economy is most definitely a real solution.
Try again.
Algorithms arent the topic, Mr. Narrative Parrot.
Either you have an actual counterargument, or not.
The topic is that you don't believe tipping benefits society. My point is "tipping" is an evolving culture that here, solves the centralized control of SM, narratives and the incentivrs of corporatized social interaction. You not getting that the two are connected doesn't nullify the counter. But be obtuse if it makes you happy.
Tip me, then. You wanna tip me? TIP ME!
