NEW! NEGATIVE
DONATION
Express disagreement. Clear the field of bad content. Impact the ratings.
A DONATION IS A VOLUME
KNOB FOR YOUR VOICE:
Positive donation — a sign of admiration
Negative donation — a sign of condemnation
We are introducing symmetry: now you can express disappointment and protest, not just enthusiasm.
NEGATIVE LIMIT = POSITIVE TOTAL
To prevent hate floods, we use a natural check: your power to criticize is balanced by your support for what you value.
How it works: You can make a negative donation for free, up to the total of your positive donations.
Example: If you donated $10, you automatically get a „virtual $10“ to express disapproval.
How much does it cost?
Zero! Nothing! You pay no „live“ cash.
When you make a negative donation, no real money is taken from your card. You simply spend your „influence quota“ earned by your positive history.
Where does the money go?
Nowhere. Since there is no transfer, nobody gets paid. A negative donation is purely a data signal.
What is the impact?
- Recipient ratings: Decrease
- Donor ratings: Increase
