gollark: Allowing *other people* to do the same thing you're planning to would arguably be better, since then there would be people able to pick what they like other than just the moderators.
gollark: That is... an odd way to abbreviate my name.
gollark: It doesn't seem like it would actually work that way. It seems like it'll just be "investing in memes the moderators like".
gollark: Yes, that would be good.
gollark: It seems like the alternative to "people invest in memes from their firms" would just be to have people blindly invest in anything you flag as "going to be popular" here, which... doesn't seem better? And would actually be quite like the old days of MemeBot.
