When I thought about the issue, it became clear to me that one person's 'quality post' might be other persons unnecessary spam..
If you look at all the top stories from RSS, its difficult to call any of them universal spam.
- benologist 16y agoHe's talking about the new section: http://news.ycombinator.com/newest http://news.ycombinator.com/newest Lots of spam, dupes etc. There's even at least one 'social media guy' who's added HN to his link dumping.

When it gets so popular and big that every major tech blogger reads/acknowledges it and HN threads show up in first page of google search within 40 minutes of starting, there's bound to be some 'Media Sluts' coming over who's not concerned with being a Hacker!
