Phirate - Reciprocal Drop Rank

2/18/08 00:40

I'd have to write another page long article to explain my reasoning but the essence of it is that while reciprocal drops are good, very high % recips are counter-productive.

Eventually it trends towards a closed group of users all reading each others sites exclusively every day - a dysfunctional extreme.

As a result, while we encourage people to drop back in general, we're not likely to add any additional motivators that might flip it over into the pathological zone.
