Furries have a PURPOSE and a PLAN
...resulting in sort of a territory war where various users would support various developers and snipe at each other
and this resulted in me getting a bag of chocolates
filibustering
however, Kenneth has, as of yet, not stated any preferences, so I continue to have the right to write suggestions according solely to my own taste.
i could tailor my suggestions to Kenneth's apparent preferences as revealed by his publicly-visible repertoire, but i have no responsibility to do so.
on the other hand, if i do not tailor my suggestions, Kenneth becomes incentivized to state his preferences. him stating his preferences would be a socially-preferable outcome over him not stating his preferences. so therefore, my action has a small chance of causing a socially-preferable change.
Stating one's preferences is personally preferable for oneself, clearly, but the total social welfare must also take into account the opportunity and social feedback factors for others to recommend items that they personally want to push. yet it must also account for the loss in welfare from someone being recommended an item they do not prefer. yet then again it must also account for the gain in welfare from pissing off someone who has bad taste.
