I really want to try this experiment but fear I would never be able to reverse it. The notion that redditors should be allotted just one upvote per day seemed to garner some popularity a while ago; I wonder what Facebook would look like if its users were limited to (say) 5 likes a day. Normally—in meatspace, that is—the entity responsible for issuing and overseeing a currency is at least minimally concerned about the possibility of devaluing that currency by over-printing. Facebook, and the other players (content creators, users, corporations), don't seem concerned in the least bit about the reckless "inflation" in the digital currency of likes.
even now i feel like my "dots" are hard-won. and I give them away stringently. Badges even more so.
I just gave you a badge in another thread because the phrase "my kingdom for a quaalude" made me laugh until I cried. Or more accurately I was already sort of crying. But your point stands.Actually, I have the impression that the longer people stay on Hubski, the more selective they are with doling them out.
