what signal are we actually pricing?

It’s whatever signal people want to give, which is why we need an easy way to see the canceled content.

If the signal is

“whatever people want to give,”

then a downzapped feed is just as arbitrary as the main feed.

You’re just flipping the sort.

The real issue isn’t visibility, it’s signal integrity:

are downzaps measuring content quality, or something else?

If it’s the latter, then both feeds are just different projections of the same noise.

No clue what the signal really shows, we can’t ever know what everyone’s thinking when they up/down zap!

right. I sometimes even include "please comment rather than zapping unless you have absolutely nothing to add"
