Title:Consumers and Curators: Browsing and Voting Patterns on Reddit

    Abstract: As crowd-sourced curation of news and information
    become the norm, it is important to understand not only how
    individuals consume information through social news Web sites,
    but also how they contribute to their ranking systems. In the
    present work, we introduce and make available a new dataset
    containing the activity logs that recorded all activity for 309
    Reddit users for one year. Using this newly collected data, we
    present findings that highlight the browsing and voting behavior
    of the study's participants. We find that most users do not read
    the article that they vote on, and that, in total, 73% of posts
    were rated (ie, upvoted or downvoted) without first viewing the
    content. We also show evidence of cognitive fatigue in the
    browsing sessions of users that are most likely to vote.
