As a consumer, I’m not a huge fan of the way the posts in the thread are prioritized at the top of the chain. I want to read quality posts that don’t take up a whole page. For efficient reading and to save time on scrolling, there should be a simple algorithm that,
Instead of 100% of the prioritization going towards number of upvotes, give it 50% prioritization and give 50% that gives weight to number of characters in the post. Perhaps 75/25 would be better. It would incentivize brevity.
Perhaps I would spend less time on the app each visit but it might make for a more user-friendly experience that would bring me back more often.
