If you were to recommend an EV today based on your experience, which one would you suggest and why?

I started typing a reply to agree with you, in that it would possibly motivate people to post things that were personally interesting or meaningful, rather than relying on cliched tropes to drive engagement (much like the movie industry).

But on the other hand, there are so many other platforms where karma or a karma equivalent isn’t recorded (e.g. YouTube comments, Facebook comments), but uninspired, recycled messages still somehow regularly make their way to the top. I guess the dopamine from any perceived engagement that comes from an up or down arrow is too difficult to resist. So I don’t think anything will change either way.

Either that or I’m old and cranky.

I love this. It’s so idealistic and hopeful. But I really do wish more people did it.

I kinda get where you’re coming from, but at the same time, I think there are just as many people these days coming up with absolute rubbish which too many people have the misfortune of falling for.

And as much as we would like to believe that we can search up facts about any topic in the world, there is just so much rubbish on the internet that even when you do look it up, the search results are far from helpful (depending on what you’re looking for).

Personally I like asking people stuff that I could have looked up, just to hear their take on it.

“We should improve society somewhat”
“Yet you participate in society. Curious!”

Wow edgy take. Tell me, what do you define a cult as? Is it just anything you don’t believe in?
