HN doesn’t feature an algorithmic feed, mercifully. We all share a single view here.
Social media becomes a body politic snatching parasite when it generates unique, algorithmically (engagement-driven!) views for each individual.
- esja 6y agoI agree, but I wish HN would go further and make karma invisible. By all means, use it to rank things, but showing the numbers just triggers the wrong behaviour. Both in terms of creating addiction in the users, but also in terms of poisoning civil discussion and incentivising clever comebacks over good-faith debate.
