Crowdsourcing

I believe that the nastiness classification is a difficult problem. Automatically. So I personally believe in crowdsource nastiness labeling. But in an objective way, it doesn't become viral mob cancellation type of dynamics. You need to classify posts in order to build up the average. That's what I mean. And so I really like that idea, the high level idea of incentivizing people to be less shitty. Because that's what we have that incentive in real life. It should be also pain to be an asshole on the internet. There could be different mechanisms for that. I wish AI was there. Machine learning models are there. Just on it.
