The cliques are already here alive and kicking, you just have to spend any amount of time in certain territories to see it first hand. Certain members merely have to post any old comment to get zapped, they've already got their followers. Which in turn allows them to game the system.
The mere mention of cliques makes me feel sick, it's disclusionary, the try hards will try harder to suck up to the clique members and how will people get a trust rating?
Territories experimenting with their own reward rules will just make it the wild west. Those with the best reward incentives will get the most traffic forcing other territories to follow suit. It's another race to the bottom.

Building relationships and earning people's favor is a pretty virtuous "game" isn't it? What alternative game would you like to see played?

I think it's a race to the top, ie "the best reward incentives will get the most traffic." Should the worst reward incentives get more traffic? I know you don't mean that but I'm not sure what you do mean.

I call it sucking up, brown nosing, kissing arse, virtue signalling 😜😂 But, seriously, that's the groundings for a social credit system. I think what this showing me is that myself and a handful of other people on here are truly ungovernable 😂

The word clique filled me with dread too

I get what you're saying, but this seems like one of those things where everybody agrees that 90% of the internet is shit, but they can't agree on which 90%. Which is the difference btwn your description being total pathology (for me, this would be a btc maxi echo chamber screaming the catechisms at each other) and being the sign that things are working out great (a bunch of people who say interesting things being perpetually rewarded for saying interesting things).

Oh wow -- for me, that sounds like a race to the top! An ecosystem of innovation.
