Jury of peers is for criminal prosecution, not job performance assessment, which is closer to civil cases, in which preponderance of the evidence is the standard.

There’s a judge and sometimes jury in civil cases. There’s still evidence rules. My comment stands with preponderance of evidence standard.

I feel like if all this was handed to a judge or jury it wouldn’t meet the standard for civil verdicts either.

It’s only when I see this stuff presented in the tumbler verse world of most uptweets is true or whatever that it seems to stick.

It’s certainly currently effective, but I don’t know how sustainable it is because it seems like a poor way to produce quality things.

Perhaps there will be a critical mass of people who just adhere to a rational ideal and break the boycotts to the extent where we can have a parallel world that ignores such style of medium-post fueled discussion.
