Please make a megathread about Alonso's Indy attempt, it's cluttering the whole subreddit.

Yes, make a megathread, send it all to where discussion goes to die.

I don't think this gets talked about enough... I don't like commenting in megathreads on any sub because your comment gets thrown to the bottom with 300 others, and it never gets read, voted on or replied to. Basically, if you're not one of the first 10 or 15 people to comment in a megathread, you might as well not comment at all.

Yea this cant be upvoted enough imo. What purpose does these session megathreads fill? its like "gahh raceweekend again, fuck, you guys just have to hang out here in the back in this megathread so that you don't clutter the front/new page with meaningless discussions and information about the current race weekend".
I always thought that there was some magic function in the megathreads where you just change some options and voilà it all makes sense, and i was to stupid to figure it out. But there are no such options - it actually just sucks.

It's kind of weird:
Race weekend i want to come to reddit and indulge myself with tons of new posts about whats happening on and off track, but no - it's all confined in a stupid "megathreads" for every session where it is impossible to follow or participate in any meaningful discussion.
And today, and the near future, we will have the front page littered by an indycar test session, where like 8 of the last posts on the subject derives from an 2:30min interview. Non of the posts even marked "off topic" btw.

Theres nothing really happening in f1 for a week. I dont really mind separate posts.
What i hate are the duplicate type posts about the challenges and diffrernces in the cars/oval tracks from f1, blah blah.
no duh.
There are currently 11 threads about Alonso/Indy on the first page of new, and 11 on the second page. It's a bit much for something that is arguably OT.
Its Alonso test day. Itll die down tomorrow.
11 aint bad. go to r/INDYCAR theres like 100
well
yeah? isnt indycar supposed to be full of indycar stuff lol
News just in: r/FormulaE has 25 posts about formula e on the front page
Okay... but that's not what this guy is getting at. The important question isn't how many alonso posts there are, it's whether or not those posts are preventing people from getting useful, entertaining or important F1-related info... and really, they're not... because there isn't much useful, important or entertaining F1 info right now, with 10 days until the next grand prix, and the last grand prix had no overtakes so there are few clips and discussion.
