You could leave it to the users to hopefully positively reinforce questions and make them more visible such as this one, but as the community grows larger I'm doubtful that that will happen

Hubski is based on the idea that you share interests with people and that you're more likely to be interested in what someone like you is interested in than in what the most popular thought of the day is in whatever subject.

As the user base grows, so do your odds of finding someone with your sentiments.

The fact that clicking on the hub shares that post with your followers means that it doesn't matter if the majority of people like something- it matters if you like the people you're following. You could be the only person following someone and they would still get a lot of weight in your feed when they shared something.

The only thing you have to do to positively reinforce what you want to see with an askhubski tag is click on links that interest you, and if they're "good" (however you qualify that) then you click the share button. And your followers rinse and repeat and we all go home happy.

It is not important to any given individual what the most popular post is. That is what differentiates Hubski from Reddit. It matters that you are in a community you enjoy. If 60% of people agree that this comment is better than the current feed page, and then we make it the feed page, that means that 40% of the site's visitor's don't like the feed page compared to what it used to be. This happens every day and in all subreddits on reddit by definition of its ranking by popularity.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a little harsh on your first sentence's last clause, but I think that most of the new users on Hubski don't get this. I'm also new, but it's the reason I'm here.
