Definitely interesting. I'd say if we want to actively fight the entropy of the social news mechanic (ie. the feedback loop of popularity winning and slight dumbing down of anything increasing popularity), then perhaps we should glance quickly at an article and then jump back and upvote it based a snap judgement of its technical depth.
Of course we run the risk of upvoting well-dressed crackpot nonsense, but that's probably a lesser risk than becoming reddit.
- oelmekki 13y agoI don't know if you guys proceed the same as me, but I merely open a tenth of links on home or new page. Actually, when doing so, you can consider any opened link deserves an upvote, provided that at first glance, it is what the link title promised : it attracted your attention so may attract other people. Nevermind if the point made in the linked article you upvoted is valid or not after a detailed review, the subject is interesting and may lead to interesting discussions - and top comments will instantly warn if the point is not valid.
