My beef with them is it gives a comment an artificially high “vote” which tends to dominate the discussion (people feel it’s a higher quality comment point), even if the content on its own doesn’t merit it.

It’s the poor people who will suffer. Clearly they aren’t human enough to spend money on, amiright? /s

I dunno… this has rings of Libra (now Diem?) to it. Given engagement on Meta is down, it feels more like a playbook to tap into the zeitgeist and capture the shift in traffic.
