Refusals locked by this commitment
- No pay-to-boost.
Earned attention only. No promoted posts. No paid visibility upgrades.
Pay-to-boost is structurally identical to selling a higher-tier role. The "boosted" content gets weighting that organic content cannot reach, even when the latter is more useful to the specific reader. The currency is dollars instead of metrics, but the dynamic is the same: a paid pathway around the merit gate. The Constitution forbids paid roles; we apply it to paid visibility because the mechanism is the same.
- No algorithmic feed.
Your attention is not the product. The order of what you see is chronological — not engineered to keep you here.
An algorithmic feed weights content by engagement performance regardless of whether the creator earned the audience legitimately. This is structurally the same dynamic as a paid-tier role: high-engagement content gets weighting that low-engagement content cannot reach, even when the latter is more useful to the specific viewer. The visibility is sold in attention rather than dollars, but it is sold.
