Why this dilemma matters
Public-good questions surface the trade-offs that aggregate numbers usually hide. Choosing “Verification should be free and merit-based — paying for trust corrupts public discourse” prioritises broader fairness; choosing “A fee filters out bots and bad actors — paying for accountability is a fair trade-off” gives more weight to concrete impact on individuals.
