Real quick follow up point. How many times have you seen two educated, well thought out comments on a Hacker News item but one has 27 points and the other has 3 because the 27-point item is the one everyone agreed with?
I vote items up when I think they're smart whether I agree with them or not and I think others should do the same. That's the point this article makes and that's why I think it should be on Hacker News.
- diN0bot 18y agoI like the "vote up smart comments regardless of agreement" approach. My Kantian nature then expects to see interesting comments at the top. I also like the "vote to agree or disagree with the 'poll' (aka comment)". This prevents dozens of "I agree/I disagree" responses. The second approach is my first instinct. They're voting triangles, right? Like a poll? The first approach yields less answer-based statistics but more interesting reading material. One button fits all v too many buttons problem.
