You prefer to let other people determine what you read?
- qmmmur 1y agoConsidering you define the heuristic seems like a daft argument for you to make

There are multiple levels of delegation to the "wisdom of the crowd": - visiting this HN website by itself is already letting people determine what you read. The stories are submitted by others. - reading only the front page of just the top-voted 30 stories instead of doom scrolling the additional 1000 is another level of delegation - inside of each story, only reading a subset of the most upvoted comments is another level People do all 3 to various degrees because there's limited time to read.
