Hahah under scuttlebutt, way to go hubski In the bottom of the list there is https://www.upquest.com/ I like the idea: you vote to predict the best post/comment , and win karma accordingly. Way more fun than reddit. I wonder what would the front page be with such a system on reddit.. It cant be worse than what the front page is since the last 5 years.. can it be?
on Reddit, I think that comments that are already on top tend to get way more upvotes. So just picking whatever's there is a likely win. And if everyone knows everyone's doing that then it gets stuck in a loop where winning karma is easy but it's not related to the actual content but maybe it could work! I really think quality is mostly down to how cool the active people are moreso than comment ordering anyways.
