- arijun 3y agoIt could be because they saw they were getting low quality links from there. In any case, since HN prefers original sources, it’s less likely that a news aggregator would be a good source (the occasional Reddit comment notwithstanding)
- janandonly 3y agoUnless the link is to a "show SN" article, it is indeed simply an aggregator, and not a link to the source. What I mean to say is: I do see the logic of downgrading links to SN, because it is not usually an original source.

Karma alone can mess with incentives, I cannot imagine that adding monetary incentive does anything but make it worse. Also crypto has the reverse-midas-touch from everything I've experienced first-hand or read so adding that into the mix is just another black mark.
