I see this as being a slightly different spin on this idea also posted in our discourse. There is an interesting niche for “social” markets. I’m also not sure how reasonable it is to have a market where you can so easily game it but from your description, you seem to want this to be a feature - which may be part of the market dynamics.
I do however like the creativity you have put towards thinking about the use case for the token.
As a suggested route forward, I’d recommend partnering with the guys who are looking to create the YouTube index and perhaps with a few more minds at this a product can come out of this?
Happy to hear more ideas on this
