1 year agoSure, let me explain:
JSTOR is an online repository where institutions pay a subscription for access to an online library. Aaron Swartz worked to download the entire online library to ensure that it could be provided to all for free. I think it’s safe to say that if he were alive today, he would be very much against the actions of his former co-founder, and would be leading the charge.
It’s probably pretty straightforward, if clicks are what they’re looking to increase as a metric, then sorting by rising was probably not meeting their expectations in terms of clickrate.
