I feel like Shut up and Dance is by far the most realistic scenario, it could have happened already.

It's also my favourite episode.

A similar app already exists; it's called "Peeple", and people tore it apart after the Black Mirror episode came out.

That episode fucked me up mentally the most because of how realistic it was. I could absolutely see people getting approved for housing and shit based on their social scores.

I hope the world goes down that path. It would be better for everyone. The majority of the people use the scores as motivation to be kind to others. I don't see a downside here.

You're going on the assumption that you would not be downvoted heavily.

I hope youd be prepared to be downvoted into oblivion every time you endorse the latest stupid thing your orange god-emperor has said or done

Some asshole on 4chan: "Hey, this bitch dumped me, let's downvote her!" "Hey, Hillary's giving a speech, let's downvote her!" "SJW complaining about [whatever], let's downvote them!"

The President would be approaching a 5. Trump would have the support of the masses.

When 47% of the population votes you a five, and 47% of the population votes you a one, you do not end up with a five.

Yeah, that's not how it'd work.

No President would have a 5, because there will always be a significant portion of the population who would vote them down. Trump would likely be among the lowest as of right now.

Hell, he probably wouldn't have even gotten the nomination in this world.

If that ever goes real, i would kill myself legit.

Death is better than living in a world like that.
