Here's an idea, instead of a down vote. How about a side vote.

Make HN have two tabs, one hacker news, one ~hacker news.

If a story gets enough side votes, it moves to the ~hacker news tab.

Interesting stories still would be just one tab away, and as far as I can see, no one has any incentive to side vote "true" HN type stories.

I don't know if a Youtube video making the front page is a first, but complaining about not linking a post being on the HN front page is definitely not a first.

For all that, upmodded for being the first such complaint to cross the line into advocating violence and mayhem. Along with a suggestion to chill out listening to Helter Skelter.

Killing them seems a bit excessive. I'll settle for castration.
