Thoughts on the “Best” community posts section
Random thought I’ve had for a bit. The “Best” section right now is basically a golden potato/meme hall of fame. They’re funny, they get a ton of upvotes, and honestly I get why they end up there.
But I do feel like this sometimes buries a lot of genuinely helpful posts, things like solid advice, school breakdowns, interview insights, update letter guidance, etc., that could actually help applicants but never make it to that section because memes just dominate the upvotes.
No idea what the perfect solution is, but maybe something like:
- Best of the week or month instead of all-time
- Separating meme posts from informational posts
- Golden potato hall of fame section if we all feel super strongly about the golden potatoes lol
- Or some light mod curation so the section isn’t just the same meme post repeated
