This sounds efficient and a good way to get around the bad feelings that can often build up when people live together and disagree during decision making.
I imagine if I were to implement this there might still be disagreement in deciding when to use yootling for making a decision (Please no meta-humor on this). Using it for every decision sounds annoying.
Are you concerned that the next people who you live with may be less receptive to this method of decision making? Using this system could cause you to miss out on learning the subtle social skill of coming to a group consensus.
We have a protocol for deciding when to yootle: if the possibility of yootling is so much as mentioned then we must yootle. The only fair way to object to yootling is to dispute that it’s a 50⁄50 decision. If it is a fundamentally joint decision then how would you object? “I want to get my way but not pay anything”? Not so nice. You could say “I don’t want to yootle, I’ll just do it your way”. But that’s equivalent to bidding 0, so might as well go through with the yootling. And after 9 years we do have quite efficient ways to conduct these auctions, with fingers or our phones or out loud.
I’ve lived with other people (either spouses or roommates) pretty much my entire life (30 years), so I feel like I’ve already acquired the social skills to do without it. Other people’s situations may be different. I am generally in support of people learning social skills, so yootling might not be the best answer if it is a replacement for that.
