It's a simple game where I show you two images from Reddit (SFW of course) and ask you to guess which was more popular. I'm using the data from the site as part of my research into the dynamics on internet popularity.

It's awesome because it's showing that Reddit is a pretty random/fickle thing. In the first iteration of the experiment (we're on the second now), people couldn't really do much better than randomly guessing. If one image had 10,000 upvotes and the other 10, people could only guess the popular one about 55% of the time. I wrote up some quick results in this blogpost: https://medium.com/@gregstod/guess-the-karma-2-0-82a224a691f...

I'd very much appreciate it if you played the game and donated a few data points :-)

One UI suggestion: make the images bigger!

Thanks for the suggestion. If you click on them, they'll pop out to the full size. Otherwise, I couldn't figure out how to get it to appear OK on both desktop and mobile (because I"m not really a web developer).
