Thank you for your comment! That is a very valid observation - network effect is hard to beat. Moreover, because of how our voting system works, the project becomes even more dependent on community size than, say, reddit, that has a top-down moderation structure. And it is also dependent on volunteers voting on the content and on moderation proposals. That is more work than, say, clicking upvotes sometimes or just consuming content. But hey, if in exchange you get better bot resistance, better content, and full transparency, would the additional effort not be worth it?

And, of course, as the hero section of the landing page says, this is still an experiment. Indeed, it does not matter whether it works mathematically if it does not work psychologically - this is what we want to test!
