If number of clicks compared to number of votes is correlated with the extent to which the title is link bait than couldn't link bait be handled more efficiently by giving moderators access to the metric?
- jacquesm 17y agoHow do you quantify the 'linkbaitiness' of a title?
- JoshCole 17y agoI had remembered reading about how you could use the rating system mentioned at http://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.html http://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating.... to determine what was abusive as well as what was good. So you could quantify 'linkbaitiness' if you set the pos to be the number of people who viewed an item without voting for it, and n to the number of viewers, as long as people are less likely to up-vote linkbait than quality. I figured that the last bit is a big if so I just phrased it as a question.
