You could do this with polls instead of karma. The advantage of karma is that it provides an incentive for people to play to win. The disadvantage is hiding comments.
“provides an incentive for people to play to win”
You mean an incentive to hold irrational beliefs? Is that something we want to incentivize?
No, not to hold irrational beliefs, but to admit to holding irrational beliefs.
I agree. I want to comment on some of the downvoted posts, but I don’t want to pay the karma
Great idea. I’ll put a note in the post so that if anyone ever resurrects this in the future they’ll do it that way.
