- MrBuddyCasino 5y agoThis erodes the quality over time, as the platform becomes less useful to regulars and long-time members, and thus dis-incentives investment and care. Every open platform without rules devolves into a porn distributor, so strictly going by „what’s popular“ is problematic.
- kergonath 5y agoI hear you, but that’s the whole point of HN. Nobody takes editorial decisions. It’s great if your interests are aligned with the community and as long as the noise is manageable by the voting system. Besides, there is quite a bit of turnover on the front page. A post that you find useless today will probably be gone from the front page before tomorrow.
