Is this likely to bias people towards writing longer single posts rather than splitting their thoughts into a sequence of posts?
For example, back in 2018 (so not eligible for this) I wrote a sequence of 8 posts that, between them, got a total of 94 votes. Would I have been better off having made a single post (were it to have gotten 94 just by itself) ?
There is probably a small bias here, yeah, but probably not overwhelmingly much. I think overall it’s more likely for a post to appear in the final best-off collection if it’s short, simply because we are dealing with very limited space, so that pushes in the opposite direction.
