Yeah, several factors converge to make a bunch of daily posts (even well-meaning) a bad idea to allow; among them:
* The threadiverse is small enough that basically anything with even tepid reception shows up on 'All'. So users who are lukewarm on the community but don't want 5 million posts per day are incentivized to just block it altogether instead of whack-a-mole problematic users.
* It crowds out posts from other users, propagating a monoculture.
* It incentivizes the poster to value quantity over quality.
* It's much harder to properly moderate.
* It dilutes discussion around a bunch of posts instead of in-depth commentary around a handful of posts.
* It causes ceaseless arguments that can even dominate the community (hell, even leak out of it) when one or two users get way out-of-hand.
