So you're saying you want to create a platform where members, each having a vote of equal weight, stack rank content by merit of popularity?
-
So instead of making thoughtful and educative content, I can use all of the most sneaky content/click tricks to get people to vote for me and crown me king?

@SortOfTested Rating IS given on the basis of the webinar posted by the lister but it actually defines the merit of the lister.

@alexbrooklyn No CLICKBAITS! The community members in our operations will be validating the webinars and their details before displaying it.

What is "it" that defines the merit of the lister? Rating or qualification? -

Point being, the average person has no business weighing in on most things. Democratically voted content inevitably just leads to content that is normalized to the majority opinion. In the case of knowledge-based content, it normalizes to the laziest, instant-gratification, rote option. There has to be some other normalizer to avoid everything becoming a popularity context, and that's where expertise comes in. -
@SortOfTested If employing experts it needs to not just be the people thinking about doing things, but also the people actually doing things.
