I was on vacation, confident that Clarity would have opened the new open threads. Since it wasn’t the case, I’m resuming from today the ‘duty’ of creation of such threads.
Happy LessWronging.
Evidence for an inefficient market for karma for public goods like open threads on LessWrong. I assumed we would adapt to it after I attracted controversy for starting that open thread the other day. Maybe I’ve taboo’d non-MrMind’s from doing instead and legitimised a kind of proprietary right to it to you!
Yeah, but why it would be inefficient? Entry cost is negligible and the need of open thread is very visible. I would rather say that there’s no market because there’s no demand: nobody cares that much about gaining that karma. Or maybe it’s not a high status activity.

Perverse incentives are everywhere! ;)
I wasn’t watching… Should have jumped in myself… Sorry...
No problem, no harm has been effected, as far as I can see.
