This week, the same thing was done. The news megathread was converted to a Biden drops out megathread and it buried the visibility of news discussion from the past 7 days. Now you have to scroll through many, many pages of Biden drops out comments to see any small stories from the past week in the news megathread.
It does not make sense to keep converting the weekly megathread into "current big story thread". It buries the other stories of the week.
This also goes against the principles of a link aggregation website. The hexbear post algorithm is largely driven by the number of comments made on a post. When user make opinion comments in the megathread instead of relevant individual news posts, it takes away momentum from other posts relevant to current events.
