I have read the few analyze regarding the correlation between post attention and date and time of posting. But it feels that in the last year a new cohort of users have been posting article straying away from specialized site/blog and posted more about mainstrain news site. It looks almost like the quality has move down a notch compared to the previous couple of years. This could be due to fatigue on my part
I don't see an easy fix to make up for this and I fear a system of tagging/reputation as this seems to have a tendency to add to the injury more than resolving anything. But maybe some restriction on source for submission might help in preventing the drowning of hacker/techy news related submission by general news report about some newish technology. It might be interesting to discuss a new article about technology from the new york time (submission #14076413), even though the generalism of the article is quite far remote from the hacker mentality, but seeing 6 article in the first 3 pages from the BBC (which skime through the technology) is a bit much (example are submission #14087475, #14085966 and #14075757 for the first couple of pages).
I guess the only suggestion I would have is the ability to choose which source a user should be able to filter out.
