Interesting idea. I agree with above users in that a better comment management system could be created to make debates more clear. I could see this being used within corporations to debate ideas.
And +1 to using this in corporations. The hope is that the tool is generic enough for all kinds of use cases!
Interesting… It would be great if you could see how users voted as you read through comments
Debate of the Day: "Is YC still a good deal?" I'm curious how this one turns out.
Is the vote before/after supposed to be a way to determine the winner?

What's the difference vs a reddit poll?
I've been a big fan of ChangeMyView(https://www.changemyview.co/) and Intelligence Squared (https://www.youtube.com/user/iqsquared) and this seems like potentially a great combination of both!
I think polling people before the debate to get the "initial odds" and then after to see how the consensus has shifted and combining that with some sort of score like CMW does would go a long way to advance the gamification!

Regarding the polling suggestion, that's actually how it works! Clearly need to work on the messaging a bit, to make that more apparent. There's an initial poll and then you're asked if you've changed your mind after a minute of reading the arguments.
Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

It's different from a reddit poll in two ways:
1) Artificial scarcity - like Wordle or a NYTimes cover photo, there's only one per day. This focuses attention to one topic at a time.
2) Before/after polling. The audience is polled initially and then asked if they've changed their mind after a while reading arguments. The winner is the debate that changes the most minds.
