- WorldMaker 7y agoUsage metrics are poor for discerning quality though. Claps implied some implicit subjective quality judgment from the reader perhaps, but still a poor binary proxy for quality information. Neither metric optimizes for better content. Usage metrics optimize for raw quantity of content, irrespective of quality. Binary "quality" metrics like claps optimize for "engagement" which isn't at all isomorphic to quality, as multiple social media algorithms continue to show.
