Unlike #3424, however, having a set amount per criticisms means there’s zero incentive for anyone to submit more criticisms, whereas divvying up the amount among criticisms means the incentive is gradually reduced, and it’s up to people to decide for themselves whether contributions are still worth making.

Feature idea: pay people to criticize your idea.
You submit an idea with a ‘criticism bounty’ of ten bucks per criticism received, say.
The amount should be arbitrarily customizable.
There could then be a page for bounties at /bounties. And a page listing a user’s bounties at /:username/bounties.
When starting a bounty, the user indicates terms such as what kinds of criticism they want. This way, they avoid having to pay people pointing out typos, say.

Anyone can start a bounty on any idea. There can only be one bounty per idea at a time.
The initiator of the bounty could choose a ceiling for the total they are willing to spend. They could additionally specify the amount per unproblematic criticism.
For example, a user would indicate that they are willing to spend a total of $100 at $10 per criticism.

There could be a grace period. For example, 24 hours after the bounty ends, no new criticisms can be posted on the bountied idea. That way, the bounty initiator have time to review pending criticisms.

#3442·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 1 month agoRather than set a fixed amount for each unproblematic criticism (#3421), the ceiling could be divided among all unproblematic criticisms equally.
That could result in amounts too small to cover transaction costs.

If others can still participate, it’s not really a grace period.

#3460·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoWhat happens if they neglect to review pending criticisms?
Then all pending criticisms automatically receive equal payouts.

#3456·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoWhat if every criticism on the bountied idea creates a separate authorization? The bounty initiator would add their card on file and then every time someone submits a criticism, the card is authorized for the per-criticism amount.
This idea introduces additional complexity and edge cases. For example, what happens if authorization fails? Need something simpler for an MVP version of this feature.

While this idea sounded promising at first, I now realize it just moves the deadline problem one level underneath the bountied idea.
#3431·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoThe bounty initiator’s card will have to be authorized when starting the bounty. Card authorizations presumably have a deadline, so resetting the deadline won’t be an option.

Who wants that hassle?
Would still be a hassle for users to track refunds.
#3440·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 month agoThat doesn’t address the possibility of others submitting arbitrary criticisms just before the deadline.
There could still be a button to report abuse. People found to abuse deadlines could become ineligible for payouts and excluded from participating in future bounties.
#3449·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 1 month agoPeople who have submitted criticisms hope to get paid. They have an incentive to submit arbitrary counter-criticisms to others’ criticisms to increase their own share of the pie.
Although there’s a risk for abuse, that’s a feature: it will lead to lively discussions among critics.
If they have submitted criticisms, they may get paid. So they have an incentive to submit arbitrary counter-criticisms to others’ criticisms.

#2504·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoI would have it that each criticism and counter-criticism resets the countdown on the bounty deadline. This means everyone involved is given fair time to respond at each turn.
Card authorizations will necessarily have a deadline.
