We're creating a platform designed to democratize content. Would be very interested in feedback from the individuals of this sub!

  1. You're free to spread an agenda, but using bots, vote groups, etc is something outside most user's range. It's can also be expensive. However corporations, political parties, etc have the ability to do this with ease. Why is it an issue? On top of many hacks that involve public perception, one that doesn't is the fact great content not contributing in the manner get buried. Allowing this to go on virtually makes it a requirement for content to go viral.

  2. Facebook & Google don't really look for vote manipulation as much as the look for content suffocation. We're not looking to delete or bury content based on what it is but soley based on if manipulation was detected and involved. Google and FB however are not looking at the manipulation. We don't have to delete all offenders either, we can simply remove the fraudulent activity.

  3. Nope, we don't except many people to get verified. This is mostly for individuals who have attained a following, or are recognized as such. Users who don't get verified by our team can be verified by an individual community to boot. We like to keep this option open. Also as a mean for people who are providing a lot of assistance to the community to display a bit of a platform. It's also merely a symbol, a perk to being the opposite of private which is transparent. Users can still easily contribute without this status, but this status will assist users when looking through large comment sections.

Love the feedback, thanks a lot!
