Description

The pandemic brought along with it many changes. One of them has been webinars; the world wide web got flooded with tons of them. It also brought new challenges, which Webinar should we attend, is it relevant, can all of them be simply listed so that it's easy for us to choose. Moreover, there was also the fear of missing out. And thus, ListWebinars was born! A community-based project which aspires to democratize learning. The platform assists you in identifying webinars happening across the world in various domains. It makes your discovery for relevant content simpler and also assists webinar organizers to promote their content to our users across the globe. We believe communities have voluntary power. An opportunity to create, build, and disseminate value for everyone. We decided to build this initiative on a social model, of the people-by the people-for the people FEELosophy, where we invite all individuals who believe in the power of communities to come together to build ListWebinars! The teams that we have right now are - 1) Tech 2) Design 3) Marketing 4) Operations 5) Community

So you're saying you want to create a platform where members, each having a vote of equal weight, stack rank content by merit of popularity?

So instead of making thoughtful and educative content, I can use all of the most sneaky content/click tricks to get people to vote for me and crown me king?

@SortOfTested Rating IS given on the basis of the webinar posted by the lister but it actually defines the merit of the lister.

@alexbrooklyn No CLICKBAITS! The community members in our operations will be validating the webinars and their details before displaying it.

What is "it" that defines the merit of the lister? Rating or qualification?

@SortOfTested Qualifications can be faked as well as ratings.

Point being, the average person has no business weighing in on most things. Democratically voted content inevitably just leads to content that is normalized to the majority opinion. In the case of knowledge-based content, it normalizes to the laziest, instant-gratification, rote option. There has to be some other normalizer to avoid everything becoming a popularity context, and that's where expertise comes in.

@SortOfTested If employing experts it needs to not just be the people thinking about doing things, but also the people actually doing things.
