>They are written and rated by users, and the notes are only added as context to Tweets if they are rated highly enough by multiple raters who have tended to disagree in the past.

Interesting, I remember someone on /r/slatestarcodex having the idea to rate/sort reddit comments by that metric, which I dub "sort by should-be-uncontroversial" (because normally-disagreeing people all think it's correct).

(Then again, it almost might incentivize politician-style vacuous/feel-good statements.)

They for sure would since there's a word for that: demagoguery.

Then those of us who hate "politician-style vacuous/feel-good statements" would down-rate them.

Yeah, but that does nothing on Reddit. Those "politician-style vacuous/feel-good statements" are already highly upvoted there.
