The Hidden Cost of an Unmoderated Marketplace

By Rune Works

Fully open marketplaces feel generous until you account for the time buyers waste vetting low-effort listings. That cost is real, it is just paid by customers instead of the platform.

Open Does Not Mean Free of Cost

Moderation moves that cost upstream, where one reviewer can save thousands of buyers the same wasted hour.

Moderation as a Service

Review is not gatekeeping for its own sake; it is a service to everyone downstream. CurateOS treats it that way.
