Strongly agree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

This answer aligns well with libertarian principles, as it supports a pay-per-quality model that allows businesses to operate freely and offer different levels of service at different prices. Libertarians generally support free-market principles and minimal government intervention, so they would likely agree with this approach. However, this score is not a strong agreement because some libertarians may still be concerned about the potential for monopolistic practices and harm to competition.

Agree

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

This approach could be seen as a compromise between free-market principles and concerns about monopolistic practices.
