Really this site should have randomised the order in which the font samples appear.
Right now, votes are directly influenced by page order, which I suppose is indicative that people don't feel strongly about their fonts.
- ben336 14y agouh, the correlation goes the other way. They're sorted by page order. The popular ones get voted up.
- T-R 14y agoThanks for the feedback! We'll definitely be iterating on how we rank and present viewpoints to try to reduce bias. We don't want to remove indicators of popularity entirely, though, since that would reduce the utility of the site for readers who are still trying to decide. We do intend, though, to at least provide enough information for users to judge where there may be bias for themselves, and we'll try to eliminate it where we can.
