If you just separate upvote buttons into funny and intelligent/insightful, then let users sort by the type of comment/post they prefer, wouldn't it solve this?
Slashdot does that, why hasn't that caught on? Complexity?
- criddell 11y agoI always think how sad it is that Reddit does so little with their users data. They know a lot about people who sign in - comments they vote up or down, subreddits they visit and subscribe to, types of comments they leave, and so on... and it seems like they do nothing with that data to make the individual experience better.
- brownbat 11y agoYeah, I was always waiting for prediction engines to kick into high gear on aggregators, recommending posts, subs, or even filtering comments based on what you seem to like. They could also harvest data on how often people click through a headline, how long they scroll through a comments page, how long until they move to the next item... So in addition to having more voting options on an aggregator, I also want a separate aggregator that's purely driven by behavioral data, like average clickthroughs and time on page.
