How the hell does an article that we can't even read get so many upvotes.
Stuff like this really shakes my belief in the voting system.
If you're on Firefox, just enable reading mode.
Because hate for AI is so blind that you can post anything and people will immediately fall for it.
Also any win or loss for China gets upvoted to oblivion by the tankies or sinophobes respectively.
Headline goes brrrrrr… I guess?
My take as well.
Was recently "assaulted" by a load of China-stans. So I assume this is similar pro-china (neutral about it) or at least anti-US (positive about that) community upvoting it.
Yeah, I certainly don’t wanna just blindly promote china, they do a lot of things I find abhorrent, but it can’t be denied that they are so much better than the US in a number of areas.
Totally in agreement.
It’s one of those subscription blocks you can get around by selecting reading mode in Firefox.
I’m not sure if it works for other browsers but I was able to read the article.
People only read the title, not the article
You can't require reading the article before someone vote/comment, but what if communities could enable "ponder voting" where users can only vote 30 seconds after viewing the post? This would prevent people from scrolling by from voting, but people who at least slightly skim the article first won't be affected.
Probably not viably due to it having to be supported by all platforms, but just a thought.
EDIT: It could work by returning a JWT with a post ID and time when fetching the post and having the vote endpoint support providing it. Although, I can also see it being a bit annoying and being trivially bypassed by adding some code to the client.
