I guess my hypothesis is that it's the new people that are upvoting the lame stories due to brand recognition. That's why I want to run an experiment - nothing more, nothing less. Or maybe people are doing it for quick karma. I _don't know_. What's the problem with banning sources where 95% of the content has sadly become lame? If people want to read said stories they can go to that website. Or submit it to NonHackerNews. It's not like we're banning them from the internet. You're right, but most people don't have self control, which is the root of the problem. I'm just trying to suggest changes to a system dealing with how things are instead of how we want them to be.
