automate submission from popular sources?
wheels: Karma can't be traded in for anything in the real world.  Contrary to urban legend, Paul Graham does not make you a sandwich (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=439129).  So it seems a little silly to get bent out of shape over who's getting lots of karma by submitting things.More problematic seems that people are submitting stories to get karma rather than because they think they're interesting.  That seems a dangerous trend.  Perhaps the solution would be to nullify karma gains on such "obvious" sites.However, what would suit me more would be if things were adjusted inversely to their PageRank -- meaning less stories from CNN, New York Times, BBC and so on, but things that are a little further out would be ranked better.
