Absolutely. And really, I could choose to never browse /r/all as well. However, if I could suggest a feature that would make /r/all more browsable without impacting anyone else's experience, aren't I duty-bound to suggest it?But at the end of the day, it is you who is choosing to be annoyed.
For sure. I don't think the feature would be detrimental to anyone's experience if implemented. It's essentially just a forced lurk, and lurking is essential. It's been said before that Hubski isn't about popularity or being noticed, rather it's about producing, sharing, and discussing worthwhile content with a community of people you know, value, and respect. In that regard, I think an assimilation period of sorts like your suggesting wouldn't be negative feature. And if it's something an individual user can toggle on and off then, in your own words, 'I don't reckon how that could EVER be a bad thing.'.
