Does this require different "types" of upvotes? If so, this kind of idea runs counter to sites like YouTube that have figured out that even things like 5-star rating systems are more complicated than users want to deal with.
- stevewillows 13y agoAt that point you're voting something 'cool' on Yelp.
- qu4z-2 13y agoIn fairness, 5-star rating systems are often useless anyway. People either like something or they don't. Who goes "Wow, this is cool, but ... only a bit cool."? Whereas being able to say "This is funny." or "This is interesting." has a much higher value to effort ratio, I think. I guess my issue is that you say "even" 5-star ratings, which I generally consider to be one of the worst voting interfaces, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work.
- RandyRanderson 13y agoCompletely agree - most ppl won't rate. The ones that do either are interested or not interested. If even a small fraction of the ones that do rate, rate something in a category, say karma-aww+=1 then algorithmically one could classify things pretty easily.
- nileshtrivedi 13y agoI don't think it requires that. The system can keep track of which subreddit the karma points were received in and display them accordingly.
