I like the sentiment.

I suspect it would be an attractive nuisance for spam and marketing in practice.

Even if that were managed, I am not sure how intellectually interesting it would be.

Finally, I suspect that it would attract about as much cynicism, snark, skepticism, and negativity as anyplace else on HN that allows comments.

Of course I might be wrong and YMMV. Good luck.

Maybe I am a bit cynical, but I am also afraid that it will turn into camouflaged adverts and a feast of humble brags.
