HN also visually avoids gamifying everything. Pay attention to how interactive likes on a site like Twitter are, it's literally a little heart that pops up. A lot of those sites look like slot machines.
- ineedasername 5y agoI hadn't thought like that about HN but you're right: up/down vote arrows are not visually prominent, public votes counts aren't visible. I think it also helps that most people on HN are cynical enough about useless internet points that they don't chasing them all that much just to boost the number.
