This is exactly the problem we're trying to solve at The Zeitgeist Experiment. We skip the engagement metrics entirely and rank responses by thoughtfulness. Email-based surveys with human-AI verification filters out the bot noise. Open source deserves discourse that actually reflects what humans think, not what models say humans want to hear.
