yeah, personally I find the idea of a reddit minus the orwellian elements to be attractive. The addition of "sats = voting" provides an interesting change. It won't make paid astroturfing go away, but will make it more transparent...and perhaps thats the best that can be hoped for.

Ultimately having "sub-stacks" would help diffuse the paid astroturfing (if and when that becomes a problem) and to segment off the largest shills into their appropriate segments (politics, crypto trading, etc).
