    Very interesting! Thank you for your elaborate answer, I found your links to be quite fascinating. I noticed that some links lose their relevance after a while, for instance there was a giveaway for a game that was linked on LinkLonk that is no longer available. Downvoting this link will unjustly make content from the posters less interesting, even though it was very relevant at one point. Do you have a solution in mind for this? Or do you simply consider the "30days" window to be the default?

    Won't this essentially lead to a huge filter bubble? I feel like this a huge problem on reddit already, with many power users filtering the subreddits/posters/tags they want to see and the "gatekeepers" on r/new downvoting whatever they deem uninteresting. Maybe a mechanism that introduces "novel" topics or things that are particularly interesting but outside your normal interests would help?

    Say I wanted to create a thread about running. Running is a sport and hobby. Sports is often seen more as the professional side of things (say, Olympic running). Then again, many runners take their hobby quite seriously and definitely exercise it as a sport. How do I know which one of those two groups is the more appropriate?
