Ask HN: A first (or early) upvote bonus?
Should we encourage more people to watch and vote on /new? If so, do you think there should be a 'first upvote bonus'?

No, it encourages to upvote things in new, but most things in new, shouldn't be upvoted by definition, right? It is supposed to funnel to the main page.

Wouldn't that just encourage vote spamming?
What about a bonus for up-voting a story that eventually receives a high score? Or is that what you meant?
This is how I interpreted it.
No.
