Thread:Talk:Article feedback/Continued Rollout of AFT/reply (26)

The primary target of the tool is non-editor readers. The English Wikipedia already have two very good systems in place for getting feedback from experienced editors: the talk page and the 1.0 team's assessment program. The whole point of this tool is to get non-editor readers engaged in the Wikipedia page—the very people who don't (and with respect to the second system, shouldn't) use those feedback options.

I don't think that these readers feel like their "advice" is being ignored. The typical reader probably thinks his rating is being given just as much attention as his Facebook "like" votes. Perhaps, though, this refers to your own feelings, resulting from other people rejecting your advice to make the tool unavailable to its intended audience?
