Idea: social media, hard mode

- Likes are a currency
- You get one like per day to spend on whatever post you feel is worthy
- After 30 seconds, you are unable to unlike the post
- The poster gets the like, which they can spend
- You can only post once per day
- Each additional post costs a like
- You can only comment once per day
- Each additional comment costs a like
- Sure, why not, sell likes for money. Fuck. Dev's gotta eat.

PROS:

- Less time-consuming by design. Interact without losing yourself in social media.
- Learn financial management
- Encourages only good content
- More difficult to get an inflated ego from

CONS:

- You'll probably get 0 likes on most of your posts, loser
- Limits discussion, as comments are limited

    This is kind of like the "you get to hit one person per year with your car" idea. Theory being it would reduce the number of jerks because "woah, that human just wasted their one hit on me to send a message, how the hell am I living?!"

    I mean, it doesn't work, but it's fun to think about the abject internal conflict it would induce ☺️

    Black mirror did that, kind of. So did The Orville.

    Users should get ~3 free comments that they may only spend on replying to a reply to them. This would make for really elaborate and well thought out discussions, as rather than arguing forever you need to say everything worth saying within three exchanges.
