I will help to overcome the herd instinct - it's expensive :)

Many on Habré already wrote about the herd instinct. This is when the bulk of Habraludey in their assessments should be on the already beaten track.

Actually, to argue with this statement is difficult. I myself noticed, the herd instinct exists. For example, if a topic has many voices, then somehow it is already embarrassing to put a minus. Like so many people voted.

The same is true of comments. “Yeah, you are minus. You still have a minus.



Therefore, this idea was born. Do not show how many topics won votes until the person voted. Same thing with comments. In my opinion, this will dramatically reduce bias in the assessment.



Alternatively, you can make a separate button. Something like "Show the number of votes." So to speak, for the most impatient.

What do you think?



UPD: As a result of a heated discussion, it turned out that not all Habrales need new functionality. In this regard, a clarification was born: make this functionality configurable in the user profile. Thus, if a person does not want to see the assessment has not yet voted, then he can establish such an opportunity for himself.
