Or one day a huge poster sells their account for a bunch of money and all the top posts across many communities become ads.
Hope we’re big enough to that to happen someday heh
Even if we verified with social security (govt. ID) numbers, there’d still be astroturfers. Even with IRL KYC (e.g. must be invited by an existing user who swears they met you in meatspace), there still would be. Ahhh!!! We decide where we’ll marry the love of our lives, the retirement community we’ll put grandma in, where we want to vacation or just share lunch based on online reviews/discourse. Badly wish we had a fix.
