YouTube used to promote the most-watched videos on their front page. This made it so that an unfunny white comedian with a bit called something like “history of dance” was kept in that unearned position because people who hadn’t seen the routine assumed it must be awesome for being on the front page. It was garbage, it was overhyped, I’m sure the dumbass felt like the best comic in the world, I hated it because I had to test software related to YouTube daily, I was glad when they changed it.
Long way of saying this idea is not a good one long term.
I think it actually solves this problem
users vote on the best post videos using their limited Tokins
instead of views, a scarcity based metric is used for video success
that video was highly ranked because a lot of people watched it. Would many people say they LOVE it? I’d guess not. So it wouldn’t rank well on Tokin
