Yeah, agree. I think there is some opportunity to do something better here, though I think strong-upvotes did also address that a decent amount (posts tend to get a lot more karma because they also tend to get a lot more strong-votes). I don’t really think this fixes the whole problem though, and incentives are definitely still off.
Yeah, pretty plausible. At some point I expect to sit down, run some simulations, and see in what final karma allocations different algorithms result in, and that’s definitely one thing I would try out.
It does seem like bad incentives that very well-researched pieces can get much less karma than relatively quick comments.

I might’ve asked this before, but would we be in a better place if posts just counted for 2-3x karma (rather than the previous 10x or the current 1x)?
