Tell HN: I am letting people on the Internet control my life
I had this crazy idea of people voting on Instagram on what I should do and do whatever is voted the most.
First thing was whether I should quit my job and pursue my ideas full time or stay at my job and pursue my ideas in the free time. 52% voted the former and I quit my job.
Now i’ll put up every major decision as a poll and do whatever is voted the most while recording the entire journey.
It’ll be cool if you guys can participate too.

- sidyapa 7y agoWhy not? Just a fun little experiment, nothing to lose :)
- mikece 7y agoNothing to lose... until the majority vote says to do something illegal or destructive. Even when George Costanza decided to "do the opposite" there was a logical explanation for it. I realize that's an example from fiction but I don't think it's valid to simply say "Why not?" -- it's not a reason but a statement of surrender or indifference to your own ability to make rational decisions.
- sidyapa 7y agoThey decision is taken on the options I give them. If I give an option that is illegal or destructive that’d be my stupidity
