Ask HN: How to stave off decline of HN?

>>pg+(OP)
A hard ban on politics and current events, instead of the wiggly one we have in the site guidelines now.

The problem with that is that it's hard to say exactly what counts as politics. E.g. is an article about economic inequality like this one

politics? I don't think so. Economic inequality is a very interesting social phenomenon, though it is often written about in a heated/political way.

Just a ban on "current events" (aka news)?

Past political essays, e.g. by Cicero, will generally be intellectually interesting.
