Not all poor quality voting is conscious/malicious. An individual with alexithymia, for example, might give unuseful feedback despite their best effort.

Can confirm as my startup addresses this market [https://www.photofeeler.com].

The top dating apps are designed such that photos are literally all that matter. What's worse is all of the popular cultural ideas we have about photos are wrong.

Photos don't just show people accurately -- in fact, you need some level of skill just to look as attractive as you do in real life. So no, that unsmiling selfie you took in your basement isn't "just what you look like" or "authentic."

Not to mention, people think and do. Images are still. This creates a situation where humanity can be easily lost. And where the need to brand yourself and put a lot of effort into showing hobbies etc. is paramount.

It's sad to see so many young guys tie their identities to the good or bad performance of their profiles when it's not really them being judged but the pictures they chose.

Photofeeler (https://www.photofeeler.com) | Software Engineers, Marketing Roles | REMOTE or Onsite near Boulder/Denver, CO

Work for big tech, but secretly dream of being an early engineer at a startup where everything you do really matters?

Photofeeler is a tool for photo feedback, but we're primarily a data science company. We do very sophisticated math in order to maximize the statistical value of small, noisy data samples. Our company is changing the future of online profiles.

We're early into building our team but much farther into building our business. This makes us a really exciting place to work.

Our job offers unparalleled freedom without bureaucratic nonsense (think: can work remote, work flexible hours, no unnecessary meetings). Plus our users are eager and enthusiastic for everything we ship. As an early employee, you'll take part in the ongoing conversations that inform the direction of the company.
