In The News - News Robot suggestion

Sat Nov 07, 2015 7:25 am

I just wanted to share a interesting news article in the news part of the forum, but when i went to the In The News thread it is just full of a News Robot auto posting coindesk and bitcoin.com articles. That really kills the fun of it, because then the users aren't submitting the news, and are less likely to engage.

I notice that they have had the same number of viewers 20-30 over and over with no one replying to the links. I think thats because they want to come and think they have an chance of sharing the news first, and reading what others have shared and commented on, or being the first to state a interesting point connected to the news.

Could i suggest that the News Robot be pulled way back and only post maybe the highest viewed article on coinbase and bitcoin.com per day?

Or the best article of the week? if you let users submit news they will come from r/bitcoin and reddit because they care about a particular topic and want to engade others about it without the censorship we have seen.

Right now the News Robot feels against the nature of what your trying to do here by removing the human interaction. Maybe you just had it turned on to get things going, and after there we enough people contributing you were going to turn it off anyways, but i bet you could get a couple of the bitcoin media personalities to come on and start posting news articles they are going to talk about themselves and want feedback outside of the reddit where they have been burned.

thanks for the consideration. the AMA's are interesting still reading :)
