I think this is perfectly good to try, but I’m personally skeptical that it will end up being especially useful. My sense is that right now, there isn’t a shortage of frontpage content on the forum. Rather, there seems to often be a shortage of deep reading, engagement, and discussion when someone writes a long object-level post. I would be interested to see initiatives aimed at fostering that kind of deeper engagement with content, rather than at trying to get more frontpage posts.
