hey, OP here:
Can anybody confirm this? Even if it's not true, it's a brilliant idea for a business model to increase ad revenues of a service.
Also, Has anybody found the 10x figure for people clicking on pictures to be true?
- zaidf 16y agoPics provide instant gratification. They are also usually low on intellectual info. And thus pic-only submissions are mostly flagged/removed on HN from my experience.
- Jun8 16y agoI don't know of any studies but I, for one, would be much more inclined to click on a [pic] link compared to a text one, given the topics are of nearly equal interest. The reason is, you can judge the relevance/interesting-ness of a photo at a glance, comes in handy when you want to review a lot of entries.
