    I'm afraid the problem is already there. The problem starts from the
    moment a member posts an unrelated post, when someone who is not
    interested in it starts reading.


But how is that problem of the Planet?


Who claimed it was?


If the reader decides to
read something, then the reader can't blame the medium for giving
them the opportunity to read that. It's always up to readers to decide
whether they want to read something or not. The choice is theirs already.


It may be easier for you to recognize it as a Planet problem to think about the opposite effect: people not reading Planet because they choose to invest their time elsewhere. By the way, I was once a Planet KDE reader, though if I remember correctly, I stopped reading when I stopped using Akregator, not because I found the signal-to-noise ratio insufficient.

But denying the problem or blaming it on others won't help. Making the existing compromise discoverable is constructive. We can go further identifying and implementing actual solutions.
