And yet, almost one year after nothing was done to follow up this poll.
Note that that poll is actually from 2017 - hilarious' reference to it is from 2020. So in 4 years since unanimous agreement from the staff that something needs to change, nothing has changed.
Again, currently there are threads that have a last post made on Nov 1 on the first page of the press sub. If there is a thread about a legitimate news article being drowned out, it is taking a month for the thread to get drowned out.
It's not a case of them being pushed off the front page - it's a case that many members aren't even going to bother to visit a board when they know >90% of the topics are plagiarized trash.
I think the amount of activity (or the lack thereof) on the Press sub is a function of a lack of overall interesting news articles about bitcoin/crypto. There are simply not a lot of interesting news articles about bitcoin.
Then the board has served its purpose and should be closed entirely, rather than just letting the Spammer of the Month rack up free advertising and free signature payments.
