Is it all just an act, a persona, to be a celebrity or are you just being you and really believe all this stuff?

How is your platform not subject to inherent bias like any other social media platform or website? It relies on consumer votes so is susceptible to voter bias and manipulation. For example, if only a certain demographic knows about your site or comes to vote, or if a group with an agenda bands together to promote and vote certain stories.

What was Cosby like during the verdict? Shocked? Stoic?

What tech are you anticipating or are excited about? Where do you see tech improving our daily lives or our world?

Doing our best to re-think how we show content to users to avoid the echochamber effect.

This sounds exactly like the Facebook algorithms that DECIDE FOR US, what to show and what we will be interested in.

I'm sure you mean well, and I'm sure you'll do your best, but the problem with any vote/like/share media platform is that you immediately get a hive mentality. Misinformation gets spread like wildfire just because it's "popular", and you're only going to see the biggest trenders.

If you ask me, what we need is some kind of platform that focuses on organization, ease of use, and access to every remote little nugget of news across the world. Something that lets me search through and find information for myself without telling me what's "popular". Instead of giving users credibility/karma/popularity ratings, how about give us that info about the news sources and journalists? How long have they been up and running? Did the journalists go to school, do they have a history of award/recognition or controversy? Do they have known political affiliations? I don't care if HornDog57 actively comments on news stories, i care about who wrote the article I'm reading and what agenda they have.
