Comment on Ask HN: What's stopping HN going the way of Reddit/Digg/Slashdot?parent

This is why hacker news has a collection of editors with the power to kill cat pictures with a click.

Don't underestimate the power of mass stupidity. It's killed many sites in the past. Even with a "collection of editors with the power to kill cat pictures with a click."

I don't understand; are you implying that there will simply be too many stories for editors to kill them all? The particular defense HN has against people voting up mind-candy is that editors can (and do) kill those stories. What makes you think this strategy won't work?
