Closing Statement

As fears such as The Dead Internet Theory grow more prominent in an AI-dominated age, the need for a self-regulating reference point in the world wide web grows disproportionately so. A public digital space meant to reflect the thoughts and actions of human beings cannot co-exist with spam, artificial content, low-effort posts, misinformation, plagiarism, and softly-propagated advertisements–these pollute the public consciousness and deserve to be addressed and countered.

Through the above-mentioned means, Vibe Network proposes building the cornerstone of the World Wide Web—one that is deeply rooted in Web3 but indifferent to which standard is used in the grander scheme. By intertwining with popular Web2 platforms, Vibe is designed to support numerous public spaces by rewarding quality and authentic content that is properly sourced and credited, with the means of retroactively rewarding original creators should their works be posted on the platform.

It is where effort, attention, and care are emphasized, creating a self-perpetuating, self-regulating environment that naturally rewards genuine effort and punishes malpractice and deception. Attaching these financial aspects enables the need to exercise caution and incentivizes positive and helpful behavior, ultimately forming the building blocks of a warm and welcoming environment.

The rapid increase in data, sophisticated bots, and artificial intelligence call for a filter that can separate authentic and interesting information from irrelevant, outdated, and misleading content. This filter can lead to healthier online lives and habits and leave a real-world impact, allowing people to make better choices and form a more accurate perception of the world around them.
