… yeah, guest posts and illustration contests are pretty gimmicky, I don’t know what kind of fool would propose those :D
I thought yo were talking about gimmicky stuff on LessWrong right now, of which I don’t see many examples (maybe the Diplomacy games?). Navel gazing and bad self help though, yup, plenty of those (and my last two threads—this one and the “neat stuff”—probably fall under navel gazing too)
Agree, agree, but …

I don’t want to say anything specific enough to offend anyone, but some of the ideas I saw on the “neat stuff” thread seemed sort of gimmicky to me.
