experiments:
follow_implicit_points: # Points given for implicit tag weights
# TEST FINISHED
# Hypotheses: Weighting tags based on implied preference will lead
# to more repeat engagement.
# Recommended duration: 4 weeks (ending at start of January)
# OUTCOME:
# It was observed that "base" has been consistently ahead in comments and
# "four hours of article reads in day" by 10% to 20% over no_implicit_score
# but over time this began regressing towards the mean and seeming more random.
# In inspecting the ways we are measuring goals here, anything with a low barrier
# will eventually be reached (aka leave one reaction) by most users, so over time
# these goals demonstrate less value.
# So this test is being cut off on the observation of a clear winner early on
# with the note that we need tests which can map better to the duration of the test.
# This experiment is no longer running in production, but can remain configured here
# while there are no other experiments running.
