Spammers would submit fake tags faster than everyday users. Since this is a social problem rather than a technical one, maybe old-school trust networks are worth considering instead.
- bnjms 4y agoI assume implicitly that votes only count for users two degrees of separation from you and it’s tied to real life friends registry. Wish FB hasn’t happened and the web of trust stuff turned into something useful.
- pushfoo 4y agoI don't think real life is the main issue. Instead, it seems like the same issue PGP has: the benefits never outweighed the bad UX for most people.
- colinsane 4y agoyou probably don’t even need explicit voting. Google already tries to figure out which results a person found useful just based on existing UI interactions, and use that in the rankings. if they operated a significant social media arm, they could link these two datasets to basically the same effect we’re all speaking of here. heck they maybe already do this in a different/more hierarchical form based on a person’s Youtube graph.
- MrVandemar 4y ago> Google already tries to figure out which results a person found useful just based on existing UI interactions They don't seem to be using that data to improve search results. I've noticed a considerable decline over the years, and Google is now definitely my 2nd or 3rd choice when I'm trying to find something.
