More votes = More voting

by Nic Haralambous on 6/02/2008

I’ve had this theory that today has been proven. To one extent or another more votes = more voting which = more votes. It’s a cycle of voting.

The people on muti are there. The voters and users exist but are apathetic. When something comes along, they will vote. Once they are on the site they will peruse other posts and vote more often.

This is visible today:

On an average day the top post on muti can receive up to a whopping 5 or 6 votes. Today the top 5 have a massive increase on that number!

Simple theory, more votes = more voting. Done.

    Makes you wonder who it was who actually trolled Muti and made all the fuss in the first place. Lets see: who posts hysterical rants with bursts of upper-case type, has a grudge against Muti and well known bloggers, and is known for this kind of thing?

    Just saying.

    Unfortunately all the recent voting shows is the immaturity of the South African blogosphere.

    You say that as if it’s a local problem. It’s not, it’s an international trend, every voting site suffers from it everywhere.
