No, ban the ad-based monetization model.

That's the most important perverse incentive. Others can be dealt with later.

Is HN social media?

Assuming someone won't harm themselves or accept sacrifice for a cause is a poor argument.

If burning HN to the ground deleted Facebook and Tiktok out of existence, then let it burn.

I'm certainly visiting HN somewhat compulsively.
