Yes but could be a dystopian positive for the people...

How long until someone uses this against the “oligarch“ validators?

E.g.: an AdBlock browser extension is on unless they send some microfunds to your account / transfer Libra funds to you.

If you’re not familiar with display ads it’s a literal bidding war per space per user by the advertiser. Platforms don’t care they just get a cut.

Now, I could see this: turn it around and have this “central authority” by having them bidding for you to turn on your ads based on their data’s understanding of likeliness to click.
