I donât know how much karma it had when the âecho chamberâ comments were made, but it finished with 70 (as I write this), outside the top 10 posts for February.
Interestingly, the strong downvote was one of the first handful of votes on the post (so it was at relatively low karma then), and the comment came around then. Though the I guess what was more relevant is how much karma/âattention itâd ultimately get. But even then, I think the best guess at that point wouldâve been something like 30-90 karma (based in part on only 1 of my previous posts exceeding 90 karma).
If Will MacAskill published a list of book ratings, I could understand this kind of concern (though I still think we should generally trust people not to immediately adopt Willâs opinions). Michael Aird is a fantastic Forum contributor, but he doesnât have the same kind of influence.
Fingers crossed Iâll someday reach Willâs heights of community-destruction powers! (Using them only for good-as-defined-unilaterally-by-me, of course.)
[Some additional, even less important remarks:]
