I would like to bring to the public the question of hiding the topic’s rating before voting for it. The problems associated with this have already been discussed. But I want to voice what it can interfere with (and actively interferes with me personally), and how can this be solved.
I do not "hang out" on the hub I come here every 3-4 days to read the freshest and most useful. I usually look at the main page, top and habrent. I skim through the topics, focusing on the topic name and (! Attention!) Rating. I am convinced that topics that are not gaining enough advantages are not worth my attention. I spend my time only on the most necessary. I can’t read everything on all topics. From each I read one thing, the most exciting. If I don’t want to miss topics on a specific topic, I subscribe to the corresponding collective blog and read the haralent.
What provides guidance on assessment? What topics are gaining a lot of advantages?
- high-quality professional articles
- heated discussions of recent events (in the world / on the hub / in IT)
- something valuable from an artistic (moral / poetic) point of view, for example parables
- all sorts of garbage
As you can see, even topics with a high rating to my brain then have to filter again, but it’s not so difficult. The main thing is that the main garbage has already been filtered.
So why am I all leading? Everything rests against time. I used to grab a scroll mouse and quickly scroll down the page. The choice of topics to read took no more than 5 minutes. Now I have to poke a poke on the plus sign under each topic to find out how much it excited people. Because it is much faster than reading the first paragraph and understanding what is interesting there. To be honest, all of this (poking and waiting for a server response for each topic) lifted up!
What I suggest. Make the field “show ratings of unviewed topics” in the profile, which will be turned off by default. Thus, the desire to be guided by estimates will be a conscious decision of each haberman. And everyone will choose their own way of living on the hub
PS You can consider me a lemming and habrabidl, but such a way of filtering really saved my time. On a habr I practically do not vote. The whole point is that I used to spend 20 minutes on Habr, but now - about an hour and a half. I’ll start reading news2 better ...
UPD : In the comments, the skifs habrayuser suggested the option: “Maybe you should make a choice either to see the ratings of the topics, but not be able to vote for them, or not see and be able to vote. So objectivity will not suffer and it will be easier for you. ”
In my opinion, this is IT!
