was hoping you guys could help me with an experiment. I think we can collaborate to make Humans of New York much more interesting. As you know, Facebook has engineered the comment section to be collaborative. The comments are ordered by amount of ‘likes,’ so the community votes on which comments rise to the top. That means as a group, we can work together to make the comment section more powerful and impactful.
Under the current system, the first comments have a huge advantage. Hastily written comments are seen far more often than more thoughtful comments that took longer to write. I think we could really improve the discussion if we worked together to overcome this. If you’d like to help, try changing your comment ordering from ‘Most Relevant’ to ‘Most Recent.’ You can help discover people who took extra time to write a thoughtful and carefully constructed comment. By ‘liking’ these comments, you’ll allow them to be appreciated by the entire community. Even if a few hundred people decided to help in this way, millions of people would benefit from the valuable insights that would otherwise be buried.
Even if you don’t have time to sift through most recent comments, you can still help to enrich the discussion. HONY is all about stories. As a community, let’s try to ‘like’ comments from people sharing insights or similar experiences. There is nothing wrong with comments like ‘her hair is awesome,’ or ‘she looks much younger than 50.’ Those comments are kind, supportive, and appreciated. But I think it would make Humans of New York more interesting if we could work together to prioritize stories over opinions. If there’s anything I’ve learned from doing HONY these past five years, it’s that stories are always more interesting than opinions.
Anyway—it’s just an experiment. Nothing NEEDS to be fixed. HONY’s comment section may be the nicest place on the Internet. I just wonder if we can make it even better. If we could figure out how to raise the most thoughtful comments to the top, we could further benefit from the experiences and insights of the community. Even if we improve the quality of the discussion by 5%, that would have a huge impact over time.
Thanks everyone.
