Or better yet, make getting karma data a paid, rate-limited feature. 99% of people would not be willing to pay for it, but the data is there (for a price) if you want to crunch numbers or looks for trends. A "karma tax" if you will.
- munk-a 7y agoGetting not giving? I'm pretty confused here - wouldn't most people refuse to pay and be stuck at whatever the limit was before the first payment was required? That might cause an even weirder effect where having that level of karma was considered the "maximum genuine karma" and just lead to a much lower requirement when it comes to farming likes to boost views.
- umvi 7y agoI'm saying hide everybody's comment scores kind of like HN does. However, if you pay $1/mo for access to the karma API you can then have access to the comment scores. That's all. People can still upvote/downvote freely, they just can't see the scores unless they pay.
- munk-a 7y agoHrm, interesting... so it'd be less a product for common folks to judge others and move it almost exclusively into the realm of a thing to support advertisers who are hunting for "influencers" - interesting.
