[ OT ] We should rename the `` hot '' and `` top '' categories `` to read '' and the `` rising '' and `` new '' categories `` to write . ''

I get the frustration of it, and I've worked anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours on writing prompts that get buried in the 1,000+ point submissions. 
 
 That said, however, I've posted several popular prompts and I still read ( and try to comment ) on each submission. So, in essence, OP at least sees it! 
 
 I would never discourage someone from posting to my prompts by making them feel like it's hopeless to submit... 
 
 And that's exactly what such a change would do. I mean, that's what you mean, is n't it? That there's little or no point to submitting to something that's `` Hot / top.'' 
 
 In response to your note -- All of Reddit is essentially a popularity contest, where people compete for points and the early bird gets the worm. That said, we choose specific Subreddits like this one because we feel they serve a greater value than the simple competition of it all.
