    So what about posts that just link to a news article? Isn’t this a good place to discuss current events and professional journalism?

    And who decides what counts as low effort? Is just asking a question not enough? Does a user need to prove prior research?

    I agree with the goal of improving the signal-to-noise ratio but practical enforcement of that isn’t trivial at all.

      Yes, they are made with very low effort. And most of these posts want to promote something. This is ‘echo chamber’ at it’s best.

      If you want to discuss that topic, then you would simply write your thoughts to the link with your post.
