This is another way you can tell TheDonald is just another form of manipulation by the exact same people running everything else. A quickly rotating news cycle prevents people from dwelling on any one thing for very long, to affect any lasting change, so the news cycle goes from one "BREAKING NEWS!!!" to the next, over and over and over. They learned that this also placates and controls people via the MK Ultra experiments.
I figured this out when they kept the stickies model, and people started to whine when there were no stickies/too much stickies/same account stickies. There's no need for a mod controlled news cycle in a truly open forum, it should be left for the organic conversations to determine which are at the top, but instead they embraced the opposite, which reinforces your thinking above.
When the site first started up I made some posts in the meta forum trying to get them to create a better methodology for rising posts since stuff dies there after an hour so almost nothing can stick around long enough to reach hot. Nothing ever changed and the site continued to be completely admin driven.
I recall seeing some similar requests. I had even started an aggregator to "keep" popular topics to summarize for the week (for those who can't check PDW every hour of every day). And then I got a nastygram from domain admins for scraping, so until I could set up a distributed model I put it on pause and just got sidetracked with other projects in the meanwhile.
Speaking as a mod from original KiA: People will bitch about anything.
