Why the harsh dichotomy? Surely one can believe upvotes to be a good filtering method on average while still accepting that occasionally they do a poor job and require some intervention?
(Note: not taking a position on the article itself, but rather the practice of manual intervention)
- bonaldi 14y agoOne can believe that, but it's different saying that "sometimes spam and dupes slip through" and saying "I disagree with everyone else, they're wrong, I'm right", which is what he's doing in this case. It's as if he visited a user page for someone he didn't like, saw 5000 karma and said "yeah, but his posts are mostly fluff. I'm making that 3500".
