Designer that codes. Also #WordStudy #Dadstr #Farmstr

The Good News:

- You can combine both by translating the thumbs into numbers. (Steam already does this succesfully for games)

- Humans suck at translating preferences into numbers and you avoid all that, replacing it with a coherent dose of math.

The information you want from a total score, on the other hand, is quantitative. It's:

"How does this compare to other similar things?"

The information you want from an individual review isn't quantitative. It's basically:

"Would this person recommend this place + what did he like/dislike about it?"

Humans tend to think in "Good" vs "Bad". When it comes to reviews that means "Recommend" vs "Don't Recommend". Add some more specific aspects to judge as good or bad and you've got yourself a pretty complete review.

Which of these gives the most information?

- Both reviews systems take about the same time to complete.

- Both can be used to calculate a Total Score.

🧡 A thread on why I'm betting on thumbs:

I've yet to meet someone that even knows about eNuts that is not a self-custodian satstacker.

Which might be soon to be honest, ecash space moves fast.

Yep but mostly Bitternut (Carya cordiformis). Which is a beautiful tree and ideal for oil since the bitterness is taken out by the very act of pressing it. But less ideal for livestock, pigs do not press it (and I prefer them on chestnuts). Great for all the other wildlife tho πŸ™‚ .

It's been quite the journey from breeding nuts for their seed oils (yes, I thought this was a genius plan 3 years ago πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ) to stacking eNuts on my phone πŸ₯œ

A family, some shitcompost, ...

What else does a man need? πŸ˜‰

You could only let users publish their review once they answered a certain number of questions (let's say 5) but let them answer as many as they want from there. Then you do basically QTS:

5/10 + ((# thumbs up on questions / total answered questions) x 5)

Not perfect, I'm still doing math on other options.
