I don't think that Raddle should introduce a system of psychological conditioning.

It already does that and when people get downvoted, they get anxiety. I've seen it happen countless times. If the system upvotes everyone, that won't be a problem.

That's a positive, in my book.

It's not what postmill is tho, the software is a link aggregator.

Not everyone, surely.

At least 95% of people. Most people that come here don't even comment or even make an account, they're only here for the articles.

I don't think any usability will be taken away from those people if externally-imposed curation goes away.

When I go to a reddit sub for the first time, the first thing I do is click /top - all time - so I can see the best that sub has to offer. I think that is pretty common here too. No one wants to sort through 100 pages of articles with 1 - 3 upvotes to find the best stuff.

And it's kind of our job to curate the articles with our votes and comments. Or why use a link aggregator at all? Just go to duckduckgo.
