I 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.

  you 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.

    > 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.

    Google’s metric of on-page time (or whatever they call it) is an incredibly misleading metric though.
