That is an interesting idea. But I suspect it really would still create a moderate first mover advantage in small communities. Early first mover advantage I suspect is decent in any up/down point based system ranking. Would have to run simulations on it. I also suspect what is being described is similar to the way YT works. For example I know they random feed me things. If I click on it and watch the whole vid. Suddenly I get a lot more suggestions from that channel or cohorts to it. But I cant prove that as they are terribly inscrutable on describing what it does (for good reason!).
