Interesting isn’t the correct way to describe it—it’s simply functional, and in terms of bandwidth, more economical. Serves the machine and the people. Give your AI a shot of that!
I could honestly try to implement it but I’m not sure I have the right skills to make it work beautifully—I place an emphasis on a job-well-done and I feel like I’d just make the site worse overall than someone who does have the technical aptitude to actually implement it.
I hate being the UX guy and hope I could get better in this year.
A honest question—has nobody ever thought of this before? Heh. Optimize everything except the site you learned rationality from? MIRI could make an AI paper about that!
EDIT: I will do this anyway—a wise person who’s also a programmer told me that if you have the right mindset interesting problems will find you so I’m definitely going to pull some hair in an attempt to do it. I just hope I’m not going to run into licensing issues, I’m going to release my heck of a hack in a freedom-respecting license, so if there’s a problem, I’ll just say Reddit sucks.

There are opportunity costs. Given the amount of traffic that LW has claiming that a certain new feature would be economical is a strong claim. It means that the resources wouldn’t be spent elsewhere with a higher return.
I have no numbers but I do wonder how many titles we can put in comparison to a title and text of an average post.
Also, if you want another thing, I noticed the recent comments section only displays the beginning of it, while containing the whole comment that’s practically inaccessible.
I’ve no practical experience but in theory couldn’t they only display x characters instead of the whole string?
