Not that I know of. You can see that green-button posts have higher scores than the white-button posts; but you would expect that in any case; they’re supposed to be better posts.
I believe most people don’t see the white-button posts because
a) If you go to lesswrong.com, you don’t see the white-button posts
b) If you’re reading overcoming bias, it only links to the green-button posts
c) When a post gets a green button, the rate of upvoting increases dramatically, even if the article is several days old.
That sounds reasonable. When I go to lesswrong.com, I usually first look at “Recent Posts” and don’t care about the button color. But it is probably not generic. (I haven’t even known that greenness is awarded by EY.)
