A better example would be choosing which newspapers to read based on your friend's recommendations, versus choosing by yourself. All articles from the same news

A better example would be choosing which newspapers to read based on your friend's recommendations, versus choosing by yourself. All articles from the same newspaper share a source and it already ensures some quality.
- Terretta 16y ago> All articles from the same newspaper share a source and it already ensures some quality You make an excellent point, applicable here: newspaper brand = web brand. Articles not flagged [dead] on news.ycombinator.com already ensure some quality, and both similarly share a "front page".
- BoppreH 16y agoWait, are you talking about articles on HN? Because only comments have their score hidden, you can still see how many points each article has. My point was comparing newspapers brands/articles to HN comments, not articles, since you don't have much guidance anymore over what comments are worthwhile or not.
