I open the site and the first video is Joe Rogan talking to Trump. Urgh, not a good first impression.

Yea, It's powered by user votes.
Well that's a massive no from everyone in 96% of the world then eh?
96%?
At least that means its working, that video is very popular.
What's the definition of Best here?
users post their all time favorite videos to the site
and vote on the best post videos using their limited Tokins
instead of views, a scarcity based metric is used for video success
YouTube used to promote the most-watched videos on their front page. This made it so that an unfunny white comedian with a bit called something like “history of dance” was kept in that unearned position because people who hadn’t seen the routine assumed it must be awesome for being on the front page. It was garbage, it was overhyped, I’m sure the dumbass felt like the best comic in the world, I hated it because I had to test software related to YouTube daily, I was glad when they changed it.
Long way of saying this idea is not a good one long term.
I think it actually solves this problem

that video was highly ranked because a lot of people watched it. Would many people say they LOVE it? I’d guess not. So it wouldn’t rank well on Tokin
Love it. I think human curation is going to be the best way to find high quality content long term
