What poal needs is more content that isn't written to generate maximum ad revenue from clicks. There's too much outrage porn targeting mid-wit IQ level conservatives here.
Agreed. Our top posters have even admitted to not reading the content they post so a lot of clickbait gets into the feed. That can't be fixed by a posting limit rule, unfortunately. Voting doesn't even help because votes are so little used it appears. I'm guilty of not voting for posts if the content doesn't pique my interest so I can't say I'm not part of that problem. I don't know how to fix the low quality post problem, but I do know that there isn't enough posting happening on a daily basis to try to implement anything that lowers it further. It's too difficult to attract good users since we're not a typical bunch of social butterflies who are easy to get along with so we have to make do with the users we have for now. Meh.
What I do is immediately go to /all/new because there just isn't enough content in /all/hot. I'll scan /all/hot, but find that I can actually read everything posted quickly, and determine if anything good is missed.
I'ld say the problem is (in order): 1) lack of content 2) lack of quality content
2 is not a poal problem. There's an entire industry dedicated to fucking up right wing content on the internet and drawing peoples' attention to low-quality distraction bullshit.
What Poal needs is more intelligent users who aren't glowies or kike subversives who find the really good articles, post them, but then carry on conversations about them.
