Yeah, that's sort of what I was trying to say. It will be gamed like the current system, but reputation networks are a studied problem with lots of options of things like this. just nothing thats taken off.
That would be gamed, just as there are “citation rings” (I cite you if you cite me) and “peer review rings” now.
So, you’ll need an authority to decide on what votes are unbiased.
That’s the role publishers have now. Are they doing it perfectly? No. Could others do it better or cheaper? Who knows?
