Is it just me, or does reducing the cost of submitting articles simply increase the noise on the 'new' page, and push off good articles at an even head spinning

Is it just me, or does reducing the cost of submitting articles simply increase the noise on the 'new' page, and push off good articles at an even head spinning rate? I've written about this before, that I feel we should revisit the idea of speeding things up by maybe increasing the cost of posting to forums like HN (articles and comments). I know personally, that the articles I do submit to HN are made after careful consideration of the laziness and annoyance of copy/pasting text in the submit fields. And often times, I stop mid way during copy & paste, and change my mind to post. In that precious minute of mechanical work, my mind is constantly re-evaluating and asking: 'Is this article good enough to submit?'
