What would Twitter look like, if Elon flushed all likes, throws x Likes in the sytem and gave it a go? Every Like has to taken from the system and there are positive and negative points just like here or Reddit. If you don’t have Likes anymore you have to dislike something else you liked in the past. It would be entertaining to watch social scoring and fighting for likes in this already fucked up social network.
It would have to scale with the number of posts or something. Since new content is constantly being created, but no new likes, you would have a situation where the system runs out fast, and new content, no matter how valuable, would have a very hard time getting any likes.
Also, how would you determine who has control of the likes?
