I guess it has to do with this site essentially copying the format of hacker news, a website I've never used. I encourage the change though because this isn't hacker news.
If you've spent time on nostr or r/cc you'll find a lot of users just link spam hoping for zaps/upvotes for moons or whatever. It is lazy honestly. But I don't think it's a problem unique to SN. I think it's a problem with rewarding people for posting on social media. Cast your net wide enough, you'll catch fish.

that's why i hope this site would take a note from reddit, and allow us to make our own substackz. :)
