The average answer/comment is pretty bad in most of the sites you listed. All of those use heavy ordering to work. Unlike say if I ask say kubernetes expert in my company some question, the chances of it being pure bad is very less compared to if I ask in stack overflow. Wikipedia has altogether different politics and incentive that it is not that open for most of the popular articles.

- bananaface 6y agoRight now there seems to be a cap of 99 tokens per person for each auction, which will clamp the effect rich players have on the weightings (to the point of it being much closer to an average). They may remove that in the future of course. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24658738 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24658738
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoNot only is the average not that great but the fact that the lowest common denominator buries the actual experts on some of those platforms is maddening.
