Isn't blocking Stacker.news a petty move?

It's basically HN, but you can earn small tips for submissions and comments.

It could be because they saw they were getting low quality links from there. In any case, since HN prefers original sources, it’s less likely that a news aggregator would be a good source (the occasional Reddit comment notwithstanding)

Guesses it's crypto bullshit

Yep, exactly as expected. Karma alone can mess with incentives, I cannot imagine that adding monetary incentive does anything but make it worse. Also crypto has the reverse-midas-touch from everything I've experienced first-hand or read so adding that into the mix is just another black mark.

Unless the link is to a "show SN" article, it is indeed simply an aggregator, and not a link to the source.

What I mean to say is: I do see the logic of downgrading links to SN, because it is not usually an original source.
