Can we haz default subscriber-exclusive /all/new plz? owo

For instance, click rates show that my sub is overwhelmingly popular with the general Phuks crowd – yet no one actually subscribes! =/

I understand. Obviously, this is due to cancel-culture peer pressure taking its toll. That, and of course also because our fans –
especially those who come for their daily hateb0ner… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
– don’t have to subscribe, as via /all/new, they get all the good stuff without any commitment anyway!

I believe it is really a matter of fairness that the subs one enjoys in one’s feed, one also gets to be subscribed to. This could even be an automated process.

Then add a sitewide random sticky to the top of /all/new – to keep things nice’n’agitated.

So you're saying the root of the problem is Phuks' low self-esteem?

Interesting.

Nope, I think that you think this a place that wants to be a behemoth like Reddit or Voat when it's really just content being a small dev site full of low drama users. Some people want a yacht, others want a small fishing boat.

So let's keep Phuks gimped, denying it common sense improvements... for fear it might become too popular otherwise?

Self-loathing and low self-esteem do often go together... Though I am starting to worry in your case it may not actually be the self that's the target of it...

Wait... we can't have people subscribe to the subs they actually enjoy on their feed... because otherwise they will start using the n-word in every other sentence?

Uh... the heck? 🤨

Welp, just as predicted:
