The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Got it. So, so interesting. And so why not just call that, you know, 25 ish or 30 ish bucks? Why make, why put karma kind of in between?

A We found that, um, giving people karma gives them a little bit more flexibility on what they can use it for. For instance, if you're a student and you just want lecture notes week to week in one single class, you can do that. Um, if we just give you a 150 karma, you can pick all lecture notes. You can pick some lecture notes and some study guides without having to think of, oh, okay, every time I need a set of lecture notes, I'm going to need to pay four dollars, or every time I need a study guide, I'm going to need to pay 15 dollars, or something like that. It removes some of those barriers of friction.
