Your post is on the front page. This means we are still actively introspecting as a community. That's a very healthy sign in my opinion, so I wouldn't worry so much.


It could also be signs of vanity. Reddit went downhill after a month of a ton of people writing Ask Reddit posts.

I'm not saying we have that problem, but usually, the presence of a topic like this is just taking away from an external news story.


I already penalize Ask HN posts (or more precisely, url-less ones) significantly in the ranking algorithm. That seems to keep them from taking over the front page.


So 'pgrank' is much more advanced than we think.
