I actually don't read TC. I'd rather have the knowledgeable folk on here upmod a good TC article, then I'll read it. Crowdsourcing my reading :)

- tyohn 18y agoSame here
- dpapathanasiou 18y agoI agree, but I'd also like to have the ability to down-vote submissions.
- wumi 18y agoconsidering that TC employees regularly check news.yc it's plausible to assume they automatically upvote all TC stories.
- create_account 18y agoYeah, which is why you should be able to downmod.
- humanlever 18y agoIf you add in the ability to downmod submissions this place will rapidly turn into Digg. i.e. An environment where a handful of people control the majority of the information. As far as excluding TC content goes, while I could live without it, think about the number of AWESOME discussions that would have killed in the past, then ask yourself if that's what you want for the future.
- xirium 18y agoA handful of people already control the majority of the information on this forum. ValleyWag posted a flurry of articles which were counter to YCombinator interests and now ValleyWag articles are automatically posted with the dead attribute. The same scenario could happen with TechCrunch.
- brlewis 18y agoI occasionally skim TC to find articles about photo sharing, since that's related to my startup and possibly not as interesting for other news.yc readers. I mostly find interesting non-photo-sharing TC articles by seeing them rise up on news.yc.
- samratjp 18y agoVery true indeed - perhaps it would be better to have filters :-)
