Maybe yes, maybe no. See the linked thread

there was an official moderator decision:

So I doubt anything will change.
I usually use the New Posts feature to keep abreast of new threads/posts, and I freely admit to pretty much ignoring most of ATDrake's threads (open new tab, close immediately, bye-bye thread).

And I really do notice how often I do that.
But... it's all by the book, and presumably there are people
do value the varied subjects he posts about (I am rarely interested), so I don't see what right I have to complain.
I think the moderators believe that anyone who feels it is a problem is welcome to start their own threads to contrast.
