I have seen many a democratic initiative ruined by trolls, bot accounts, duplicate accounts, and assholes. The best way to ensure that democracy doesn’t spiral into Haiti is to allow only financial contributors of $5 or more to vote (once the boss man has his contributions system up and running). You want to help build this community? OK, then put your money where your mouth is. To be clear, it should still be one vote per person, whether you donate $5 or $500.

I agree but I’d like to play a bit of devil’s advocate here:

Real democracy, to me, means one vote per person. There is absolutely no checking that every person is only able to vote once in this system.

So, while paywalled democracy isn’t democracy, neither is how this site runs now and is likely to run in the future.
