Theory: if you actually wanted to collectively advance a goal, the UX wouldn’t look like Twitter.
You’d define a numerical goal and judge all actions of the team against that goal.
It’s the difference between a team’s score vs individual player stats.

Some examples of collective goals:
- Kickstarter fundraising meter
- Capture the flag in video games
- Number of registered voters
- Percentage of code covered by tests
Stock prices aren’t great because each individual can’t deterministically affect the price.

If you could get the right numerical goal, with a hard-to-fake proof of work and the appropriate bounties — you could incentivize thousands of people to work towards a common goal.
