I see Google+'s commenting is still drowned out by sharing notifications. Google, there's a reason everyone turned off trackbacks ten years ago. It's just noise for anyone reading that page to filter out.
- DiThi 11y agoIt also happens with Tumblr, and just as bad. At least FB puts "<some people you know> and 1526 others shared this" instead of a long list of noise. In Tumblr it sort of works because nobody reads the "comments", instead some people share the content adding a note and the "comment thread" is actually a nested quote.
- Grue3 11y agoI even wrote a script that goes through every note on a post and posts all the reblogs with comments. It's technically against Tumblr TOS, but as long as I only occasionally run it, it should be alright.
- andrenotgiant 11y agoIt always surprises me that Google's world-class UX and Product teams would allow such a huge expectation vs reality misalignment. So many Youtube videos, so many blogger posts have this issue
- astral303 11y agoWell, then it isn't world-class then.
- snaky 11y agoIt depends on many things actually, especially the goals, the leadership and the social dynamics inside the team. E.g. some feature X may be chosen among alternatives due the world-class UX professional John's desire to outdo world-class UX professional Jane while Jane is on vacation.
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoIt really depends how you use it. For instance, probably 70% of my posts are technically reshares, but the majority of them have my own comments or thoughts on a given topic. Sometimes my comments are longer than those on the original source.
- prawn 11y agoInstagram makes the same mistake exacerbated on popular/celebrity posts. You'll have a food photo shared by a chef, followed by loads of these: person1: @theirfriend person2: @afriend person3: @friendname you'd like this ... and so on forever If someone's referring something to someone, leave me out of it. That's not a comment to the OP nor to the masses. It's just cruft. You can allude to it "504 people shared this", but the detail is unnecessary.
- VikingCoder 11y agoWhen I see my friend's comments on content, that's awesome. I'm always surprised more people don't see how good this is. When I browse Play.Google.Com, I see my friend's comments and ratings. That's invaluable to me.
