I see a lot of posts that seem random or poorly rehashed just to meet the goal of getting a share of SN’s daily reward. I believe bad posts and even worse comments get nothing since they can be downvoted if someone notices the pattern. This post made me rethink this: isn't the fact that many old posts get forgotten and lifeless a symptom of the need to fill new topics daily, even if empty, to grab a share of the reward instead of reviving good old content that's being buried by new posts that say the same thing?

is the best place to do that. The search bar is one such place, but I'm not sure how good of a job that does.
