I was wondering today why Facebook et al. don't break their share functions into emotionally binned categories.
"Share because it makes me angry" etc
Seems like they'd get amazing whole text training sets, as well as a signal to better guide their platforms (e.g. under-weighting negative emotions in share velocity).
- black_puppydog 7y agothat's cute that you're assuming they would want to do that.
- seisvelas 7y agoPeople would quickly realize that if they share it under a negative category their share velocity would be hit. A better approach might just be to sentiment-detect negative emotion in Tweets and adjust share velocity accordingly.
- michaelt 7y agoYou mean the Liberal Tech Billionaire Elite should use AI to secretly Suppress and Censor my tweets about how They’re Building Landing Strips For Gay Martians?
- loceng 7y agoThey're designing for engagement and/or revenues, not for outcome; we (hopefully) don't raise our children to be as hyper as possible as a leading metric.
- bsamuels 7y agoI wonder if it's already possible to do this without a new button. If a lot of people close to you in your social network react "angry" to something and you choose to share it, there's a good chance you're sharing it because it makes you angry too. Graphs are cool
