Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
I like the data archive idea, I had this similar thought for a universal, freely accessible digital archive of all the content anyone's ever produced, replacing copyright entirely. You produce your work, you upload it and get paid by govt for a combination of viewtime, likes and superlikes (which would be finite, perhaps you get 5 per year), comments and so on. Like youtube but with no ads and for more things.
Of course it doesn't really work that well since people would try to game the algorithm and I'm not sure how much this would cost. Seems unfair, taxwise as well. It'd probably hurt cinemas and book sellers. A significant quality of life increase though IMO, perhaps more appropriate for post-scarcity civilizations.
