I think I phrased "drown-out most other threads" too strongly.

Just from eyeballing the Newest Submissions page in Discussion, I estimate there are an average of ~3 new threads per day, so a new post everyday probably wouldn't "drown-out" the other threads, but still, a 33% dilution is a 33% dilution. It's quite possible that it's a trade-off worth making, but it's still a trade-off that I think we should be aware of.

Honestly, as someone new, I think it would be a good trade off. I heard about LW after HPMOR, and I know most people who recommended me HPMOR got intimidated by the amount of backlog they needed to do.

That is not a problem for me, but as I said in a different comment, I enjoy discussion about the things I am currently reading.

I really like this idea. Mostly because I enjoy discussing things I read with others. Though I am having mixed feelings about the pacing.

It would take about 16 years to cover all articles on a weekly basis. Even with a daily pace, it will take about 3 years.

I would most certainly miss out on a couple of posts, but that does not mean I could not participate the day after.
