We're assuming people are using the vote buttons to vote, and not save articles for later. What if a percentage of people said "that looks good, that looks good", vote for them so they can review them in their 'saved stories' at a later date?
What if HN would not allow people to vote on things unless they actually clicked on the link?
- thegrossman 15y agoI think this is a good suggestion. Even worse than people using the vote button to save stories for later: I've found myself occasionally voting on articles because I assume I'd like the article, without reading it. I scold myself whenever I catch myself doing it. But I bet others do the same thing.
- Wilduck 15y agoI do the exact opposite. I only upvote articles if I read it and know that I will almost certainly want to read it again later. I'm not sure if this is better or worse practice...
- john2x 15y agoI'm guilty of voting to save for later. But not just the article, the discussion of it as well.
