Ask HN: Should we invent a “Junk Rank” for web pages?
A few minutes ago I was thinking about submitting a link to the news that Apple will not support 32-Bit apps on IOS 11 anymore. Clicking through Business Insider, Macrumors, Fastcompany etc I was trying to figure out which news outlet covered it with the least junk on it (ads,trackers, size of the html, number of outbound connections,render time etc)
Then it hit me: Maybe we should create what Google should have created instead of AMP: A Junk Rank!
And then somehow feature articles by news outlets with the lowest Junk Rank.
If HN, Reddit and other aggregators would use that Junk Rank to select which news outlets are linked to - maybe we could change the web for the better?
What do you think?
