- mdp2021 5y agoThese techniques (partially) work because this is a somehow selected community. YT has a much more chaotic participation: already downvoting there has little foundation ("classroom: one teacher, thirty pupils...").
- Nextgrid 5y agoThe techniques work here because downvotes actually work. Downvotes on YouTube don't do anything.
- mdp2021 5y agoIf you proposed an idea conflicting with a good part of the audience here you could probably get some fruitful discussion, because this place attracted enough "good" participants. If you did that in a more noisy place like YT, a fader downvoting would just "remove the heretic". If your population is large enough, heresy is the place to find the "right" point, the "expensive, not cheap" idea (in some areas) (hence my previous statement "1 classroom, 1 teacher, 30 pupils"). Also: In noisy places - take Reddit -, downvoting has a sinister side of "feel free to express how that makes you feel" - an invitation to devaluate prefrontal work. So: downvoting is a big problem, before becoming a solution.
