In reference to the article's question: "could we turn Community Notes itself into something that's more like an economist algorithm?" My answer would be: no, as soon as you add an economic incentive to a system such as this, you break it, by adding an immediate and direct incentive for abusing and gaming it. FWIW that's why I think the concept of "credible neutrality" applied to money is a fantasy, like a neutral weapon (as soon as it is used it has, by definition, to have taken a side).

I don't think the idea of an "economist algorithm" is to add an economic incentive, but rather to realize that such incentives already exist (of course people want to abuse and game the community notes) and to design a mechanism so that these incentives lead to using the system as intended.
