- unalone 18y agoSomebody in the first thread mentioned that he suspected an influx of witty one-liners, since they're easy to read and quickly upvoted. I'm afraid that'll be the case: we'll see a decline in good posts in favor of easily digested posts.
- kalvin 18y agoI'm much more likely to read and upvote longer comments, especially when there's lots of comments in a thread, because my eye catches on them and I generally think that if someone wrote a long comment they must have put in some effort. So if enough people are like me, it won't be the one-liners that benefit.
