 I commented on this at stacker.news a while ago. My belief is people will gravitate toward cooperation if it means they will be paid real money. Being zapped for your positive comments, v.s. getting nothing for your negative comments means people will magically prefer doing whatever makes them money. It works just like everything else in life, unlike venture-capital-funded advertisement driven social media that gains attention by fucking with your head and getting you addicted to negative attention from AI-insult-bots. 
 I agree I see this as the case too.  Positive vibes are rewarded way more than a negative notes.  I can't think of seeing a single negative note with a lot of zaps now that I think about it.
