This was really surprising to me. I suppose it wouldn't have been if he were from some small upstart publication or from a crappy rag like the dailymail. But the Atlantic? I really enjoy the Atlantic and I actually drop quite a few links here from there (I swear I have no affiliation). I have to say, I wouldn't mind if someone were dropping 3 links a day to the atlantic here. I'd probably follow them ;-) It's a great publication.
That said, I think if someone is spamming Hubski, we can control whether we see it or not. I would actually choose to see his "spam" because I like the Atlantic a lot. Others might just ignore him and never see his content. I think it speaks to the quality of the publication he represents that he was able to be one of the top 30 redditors. Right? One mans spam is another's interest. On Hubski we get to make that call. I like that.
