Hiding reddit style posts when they appear in HN

  I truly do not understand why there is such an influx of these types of "Ask HN" posts within the past year or so. I've been on HN for a long time and this only started happening recently.

    Looking at OPs submissions, Ask HN is all they submit.

    And then there are the one or two users who ask the most goddamnably stupid questions at least once a day. “Why don’t people like walking barefoot in snow?” “Can cannibalism be an ethical source of meat?” “Should we build a wall around Fiji to save it from flooding?” I’m making those up, but the reality is that their questions are equally stupid.

  I feel like these are increasing, and I don't like it.

    It has always been thus. Check out the links at the bottom of https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. They go back to before HN was even called Hacker News!
