It's been suggested in April. @memo too chicken to implement. But the idea is sound, decentralize editing, How do you think a dislike button would help, and how to prevent abuse?
You should only be able to dislike each post once. Likes can already be manipulated with multiple likes.
Disliking is a stupid feature which destroys harmony. Use instagram and realize how positive it is because it has no way to dislike. Multiple likes are actually a realistic feature.
You have no previous experience in paid diskliking.
What about a single big $BCH dislike? I think that is what @memo wouldn't like happen. A censorship of a single or multiple rich entity/entities. Basically same as Twitter bans.
But can't that already be done with likes? If enough troll accounts upvote a post like "BCH is a scam"... Memo can just add views/ranks/list with and without dislikes factored in.
Exactly, it can be done now. So this is really not a good argument against paid dislikes.
The big advantage of paid dislikes is gamification. There will be like wars.
Like wars provide entertainment to users, $$$ to miners and @memo. Win Win Win.
Answering to self. If there was a list of active dislikes with amount paid for dislike, it could be possible that a positive counter-like could be applied and thus neutralize the dis.
Likes are not stored with these Messages on the Blockchain, it's just a number that lives on this webserver. There's not even a view, ordered by Likes. Why get your panties in a bunch?
Likes are stored as any other action. It is a transaction, stored in the BCH blockchain.
You're correct... (I actually looked it op in the protocol specs😋)
