Brutal truth… Almost everything in the nft space feels rigged and if you ever take a look at what’s happening on 6529. io, it gets even more unsettling. I spent a few days there interacting, trying to understand how things really move… and let’s just say it didn’t take long to see it. In theory, voting on 6529. io is supposed to recognize creative merit or the quality of ideas. But in practice, what really wins is social influence. People vote on memes, sure, but it doesn’t even matter if what you post isn’t a meme at all. You could upload a blank image and if you’ve got an army of followers or the backing of the “right” group, you’ll win anyway. And what could’ve been a space to celebrate ideas is just another reflection of what’s already broken in this space: the same faces, same votes, same recycled validation.
