Once youāve read a post/ācomment and thought about what its karma should be, it takes hardly any time to click the button!
I did not mean to suggest the time to vote was an important factor.
I donāt think āselecting what to readā is whatās being described here
I agree. My comment above was not clear, but with āif I see 2 postsā I did not mean āif I see 2 posts on the frontpage, and I am deciding on which to clickā. I meant that if I happen to read 2 recent posts at roughly the same time (often I am checking the posts from the EA Forum Digest), and they feel similarly good to me, I would be more likely to upvote the one with less karma.
For tags, I give more weight to the 3rd method. For example, if I only know a little about a topic, I will not strongly upvote/ādownvote the tag on a given post, because I do not feel confident about its value relative to other posts with the same tag.

Iām the same way with tags, I like posts to be accurately placed within the tag
