"Usually right" by who's standard? You would require individual arbitrators to determine what's correct, and at that point, why do crowdsourcing?

- poiu0978 9y agoOh climb off. You're coming to conclusions based on too little in that comment to make any. Perhaps they meant "Usually right from the perspective of the individual doing the picking and choosing." But you jump straight to "AUTHORITARIAN POWER WILL CRUSH USSSS!" If you're interested in history, who is "usually right" and add them to your list of follows. Is it cars? Who do you agree with?
- amelius 9y ago> "Usually right" by who's standard By the standard of the person you are showing the news to. C.f.: collaborative filtering. Or how Netflix recommends movies.

- ivanhoe 9y agoSo people who at some point liked enough anti-vaxers posts to cross the threshold will never ever see any article presenting the facts that prove it's not true? And beside why would you want to serve users only the things that they agree with? It's not good for them, just makes them more stupid & easier targets for disinformation, but it's not good for Facebook neither because people love arguing online and cutting it down means also cutting the user interaction with the platform too.
