Reply to comment by boston101 in Study of more than 2,400 Facebook users suggests that platforms — more than individual users — have a larger role to play in stopping the spread of misinformation online by giuliomagnifico

Am I allowed to say that I hate websites that exhibit slow performance that seem to be the result of processing something other than my menu choices.

I leave the site and never return. I return to sites that enable snappy searches for stuff.

Totally. Aren’t we doing the same math for feature elimination every day subconsciously?

Every decision has some sort of quick analysis going on and there are feature to every decision that one subconsciously weights to determine the decision to make.

For example, why chose the apple you picked? Did it have the shine or firmness you wanted but isn’t fundamentally in your attention? You made this decisions without even knowning.

Here’s a clue. I do a lot of searches for hardware and parts. When I find a website with a good static home page, I bookmark it. When I find a site that wiggles too much on the home page, I leave immediately.

Hope you can capture that.

You have one half second to fully display the home page, or I’m gone.

After that I’m a bit more forgiving.
