Are Polls a Good Idea?

@brad No. I think polls substitutes thinking with emotions. Socrates said that opinions were the lowest form of knowledge. This site should strive to be free and anti-authoritarian.

@Norwegian-Mugabe good for asking about empirical experiences tho

@brad i think polls are better in place of likes. Adding likes/dislikes on here would make it reddit-y, polls are an appropriate form of this if you need a similar measure. This would put it on the user’s discretion to incorporate this function if needed instead of it being a foundation and inherently forced in the model with every interaction.

Agreed. And participation in polling is optional. Whether to view, assimilate or vote.
