I actually agree. It got to the point that I asked people not to submit my stuff because there definitely is stuff on my blog that does not overlap with HN in any way. It's the stupid karma, people will race to submit stuff that they believe will give them a karma boost, as if there is any value to it.
> it's better just to link to your friends and collectively laugh rather than hop on a soapbox to lecture everybody.
That I'll agree with. It's just that I spend a lot of time on the 'new' page and the amount of pokemon stuff submitted is insane, and that's besides the amount of stuff that is 'made-for-hn' with some pokemon reference in it just to get some of the attention.
