Hey man. I think OP is trying to do some kind of sociological study or tracking on how "conspiracy theorist" is viewed by MSM or society, although I completely see and agree with your perspective too. Maybe some of this is our bad for showing it on home when it's more of an s/all thing. The hot algorithm loves new posts, so the archiving stuff use case can really take over s/home

Maybe I was too hard on OP. Hopefully we'll come to some compromise

Well I think we have approaches figured out for a more curated home page if we decide to go that route. With more traffic and upvotes, the problem might just fix itself too.

(just speaking to mass posting overwhelming the home page which I think is bound to happen)*
