So I wonder, is there a way to have the monetary/market value reflected on the hierarchy/proximity? For example, if a top level quest has a dozen notes, and each of those has dozens of notes several levels deep... If one of those leaf notes gains a lot of upvotes, can that propagate up the hierarchy so that the whole context is presented as valuable?

Should it?

this is something i think about a lot... how should the value in a branch be reflected in its parents?

but also... you could use money to signal what the true root of a convo tree should be... like maybe the entry point into a conversation should always be the highest valued node??

Indeed! In general this seems like a Hard Problem. My intuition also says that the Good algorithmic answer is harder than the manual/curated one, but hopefully not!

I consider the market to be a synthesis of algorithm and curation
