Whether it was Stumbleupon or the Google+ +1 button, we've occassionaly had a reliable way to pass on good vibes to websites as some sort of positive feedback that accumulates the feedback from lots of visitors. Digg and Reddit upvotes are another way, but they were more reliant on user submission whereas the former products I mentioned were browser-first.
For myself at least, I've pretty much fixed the how I handle the read later or bookmarking situation for websites that is app and service agnostic.
It crosses my mind often that I should do the same for content I like but with fediverses, protocols and AI in the mix now, it doesn't feel very simple anymore.
I'll keep exploring and experimenting with what that might look like. Who knows, maybe I can come up with an idea to make positive community feedback a reality again.
