Actually you're right. It's not technically 'funded' unless there's an organization behind it.

However, I wouldn't go so far as to call it a social experiment.

The edit is what's important. The video would never have stood on itself.

Do you think this could be a feasible solution?

(0. Reddit already limits the number of accounts per IP, which is a thorn in the side of hackers.)

  1. Reddit uses trend detection to find accounts that are frequently upvoting the same posts, or each other's posts. Accounts which violate this are warned/possibly banned.

  2. To stop spammers from just creating new accounts infinitely, a small karma limit is put in place which requires new users to reach a certain threshold of karma before they're allowed to upvote/downvote. This massively increases the time and processing power spammers need to get a large number of accounts rolling.
