I don't feel that having more data is a bad thing as long as there's some transparency and context

- dariusj18 8y agoThe tools to understand that data are important too.
- chaostheory 8y agoI agree. Hopefully it'll lead to discovering and understanding the root causes of problems and not just the symptoms.
- majos 8y agoI struggle with this issue. I'm a big fan of the idea of transparency given, as you point out, context. But many people are terrible at looking for context, even when it's available. Wherever transparency exists, some aggregator that will harvest shocking information and divorce it from explanatory context to drive "engagement" seems not to be far behind. But I find careful packaging of information for people off-putting as well.
- chaostheory 8y agoMaybe we suggest it to companies like Amazon and Nextdoor. They're both HQ'd in progressive areas and I wouldn't be surprised if they would be open to hearing about suggestions to tweak their UI to add more context.
