> I feel like a lot of social networks are relying on a an orbiting cloud of garbage that just recirculates constantly This is definitely true of mainstream social media, but I don't think it's that bad on HN. Based on the list of duplicates, this has been posted 13 times in 12 years, that's really not that bad. Things don't live on the front-page that long, someone reasonably could have missed it every time. If people are engaging with the post, what's the problem?
