Stumbled on this while researching tablet PCs and clicking on a Reddit “post” from Google results. I take no pride in any part of that sentence.

    This is… silly. But I do wonder how it works. Does it aggregate all responses and look for commonalities? Does it factor in the upvote/downvote counts? And, does it know how to discern genuine user input from astroturfed marketing copy in disguise?

      does it know how to discern genuine user input from astroturfed marketing copy in disguise?

      even with upvote counts, it might be upvoted for being a funny joke response

      there’s also no way to click on a user’s profile to check if the activity is genuine, or if the user is experienced in the topic they are commenting about
