Meta on format: Why didn’t you use the question feature for this post?
Meta on content: yay, I really like those kind of improvement!
Object:
epistemic status: thinking outloud right after having read the post, before reading the comments (as requested), and not having thought about this much before; not confident
it seems like system 1 asks “which categories belong to the post the most?” whereas system 2 asks “which posts belong to the category the most?”, sort of. I think most of the time, categorization is useful for system 2′s purpose (ie. searching for articles in a specific category), and when you want to know the categories of a specific post before reading it, system 2 should still be able to play system 1′s role.
also, system 2 shows the average instead of the sum, which might better represent the categorization. on the other hand, knowing the number of votes that the categorizations received is useful to know how large the sample was.
both systems seems to allow for 5 options, so are equally fine-grained (although maybe system 2 for more as it seems you can select two options from the video?)
voting system is more intuitive (flows better?) because we already use it
I wonder if the post writer should have more votes or something
