    Easier to trust and more accurate currently, but I don’t doubt that the algorithm to generate the notes will be internal and closed source, allowing them to utilize that trust to manipulate people.

          Just look at front page on reddit. Basically half of the headlines are misleading.

            A lot of the time there’s a comment correcting the title or article at the top though. Pros and cons with that system.

              There is, but doesn’t explain why there’s more upvotes on the post than the comment. Most people would downvote the post after reading that comment, but it’s usually higher anyway. (and sometimes it’s not, I know)

                Because people don’t go to the comments, they read the title on the front/subreddit page, sometimes vote and then move on.

      Except in instances when the Notes were screenshot and passed around as a joke, I don’t know how many people took them seriously on X, The Everything App.
