@elvismercury really kickstarted the push for this with his discussions of evergreenness, which were apparently inspired by his own conversations with the legendary @nemo.

Legend. Also, infuriating. But a good illustration of the poles of the issue.

I’ll read all the comments there later. This post is a good discussion about SN be a Ephemeral (trash content) or permanent (good content and discussion). I often use it as permanent, i search for information and so I find a lot of dead discussions posts that could be helpful and still updatable. This is not for all kind of content, some of it just needs a new post, others are so great that comments keep it alive, but SN buried it with daily sloppy (not all)

The whole idea of reposting old content is the best. I see a lot of old stuff here that is still relevant and current, but the comments die because of this rewards issue. Sometimes it's not even that old—just a few months back—and it's already dead here. This rewards incentive generates new content, but it's mostly reheated stuff, it has no substance.
