If you want to go check out my post, comment or voting history but don't want to see nsfw stuff that's your problem.

Establish a representative council from people all over the world like this project to decide what projects would be usefull. An undefined amount of start-up capital is too much power for a single person to handle responsible so I'd delegate those decisions to as many different people as possible.

OP recently posted an article from the same author on Medium. The headline was something like "15% of content on reddit is by corporate trolls". The article linked to only one source which did not back up any of the claims of the article. I tried searching for another article in the journal and year that the article mentioned it took a study from and there was none related to the topic. My conclusion is that the author fabricates numbers to make their articles more interesting. I also wrote an email to Medium to bring this to their attention but they didn't care about hosting misinformation and told me to contact the author. I don't think it's the audience's job to look up their sources so I'd hazard a guess and say the author is fabricating numbers again.

Here's the article: https://medium.com/@hrnews1/study-at-least-15-of-all-reddit-content-is-corporate-trolls-trying-to-manipulate-public-opinion-49cb302c26a5
