>The biggest problem is the like button. The like button is not only a bad metric - it's the worst possible metric.
ANY single metric is going to be unfit for purpose. We need to have a continuum of responses, tags or perhaps a vector for votes instead of a scalar.
It's like trying to force everything into a single hierarchy, it never works. You always end up at Matthew 6:24[1]:
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Any single vote/rank/option range ends up serving mammon
