Because it's nice to exist outside the news cycle of what's "current" every once in a while :)


You have other social media for that. Low effort posts do not invite meaningful discussion and add moderation load.


Did you know that you don't have to read every article posted here, nor read every comment that is added?

If you don't want to participate in this post, it's OK to skip it. I skip dozens of posts a day - the best part is it's more efficient than going to them and putting the effort to whine!

As for not inviting meaningful discussion: there's some good discussion on this post - the very article you claim isn't capable of generating such.


However, I don't recall hearing the moderators complain about it.

I'm guessing most of the difficult moderation would be on the newsy more-controversial posts anyways.
