You can make it here without investing in your own content, I suggest.

That can happen. Or rather it will happen.

Because the system is proof of brain; either proof of brain works, or the value crashes or stays down, it seems, among other things, that's why @Dan left.

It will happen, or the value of the token will plummet. (Hopefully it doesn't. This is a great project.)

Many users, I suggest, like me, can buy votes ... but won't. (Indeed, didn't invest.)

I personally want to know if the system can work on proof of brain. There's no mining. It's proof of brain and voting. The security and value of the system depends on content being able to replace mining. If the proof of brain doesn't work by itself, or rather, if everyone has to be an investor, not just a proper fraction people, the system will fail.

Because mainstream institutional investors have far more money and will take over the platform directly, or consensus will fill form that proof of brain isn't sufficient o replace mining. @Dan has already written that mining has some advantages.

And content needs to improve, also, simply because trending is all most people see. Serious people don't play game and they will go to Youtube and Shitbook, even tho such places basically double as surveillance platforms. They seek interesting things, respectable things. Not all Youtube is tide pod eatery.

I like to say, ``What needs to happen, will happen.'' Probably. Or it won't.

Systems change under pressure of their own constraints.

I've written something like this comment when somebody else (@surfermarly) last had a trending page post regarding this issue. I said, If there is no proof of brain, there is no voice in the long, no archiving, no blockchain. Investment AND content cannot be required from every user, because most users have nothing to invest, first of all, which is why delegated proof of stake is potentially superior to mining, and second, if voice remains but is invisible, user retention will drop to the point the delegated proof of stake is not sustainable. Not secure. And then everybody loses their voice.

Think of social networks as dynamical systems which generate requirements top down onto their users. It's a good way to look at networks and make predictions.
