Yes, I think we just need more user choices. I think everyone here is having a valid point but it's hard to find common ground. So the solution would be to let everyone have their own "ground". That's definitely the direction we want to take SN in. For example, @k00b is working on personalized feeds.

I agree, they should be separated. Under their own subject heading "links". Show a shortlist near the top but articles really are the main content of this site.

Require Link posts to also come with discussion?

I 2nd @ekzyis point:

> I think most people just post links to say "hey, look, I've found something which may be interesting to you". That's all.

There is a metric ton of content out there (I know I am stating the obvious) an user is bound to miss something good and/or the big tech "algorithms" might be suppressing it for them.

I think a profile setting or search filter that lets one filter out link only / none commented post might be a win/win feature.
