Thanks for your response. Glad to hear you're looking for a solution, and I'm very interested in seeing what ends up getting changed. I wonder how many people are actually looking at the "new" page vs. the front page, as I would imagine that an incredibly small number of people are the ones that end up being responsible for whether an article falls through the cracks or not. Personally, I rarely look at articles on the new page, so I expect that there are quite a lot of articles that do fall through the cracks for me.
Appreciate the input on the article in particular - I thought it was an insightful look as a Seattle local who has been puzzled by the $15 wage minimum for quite some time. I definitely see the point of it being more off-topic, but I'd argue that the author's background helps that cause (I have seen plenty of articles about random tech luminaries' opinions on somewhat off-topic items).
Regardless, thank you again for writing a reasoned reply to add context.
