I find many super lame questions in the new section "Hot Network Questions" on the right side. When looking for "Related", I'm accidently confronted with banalities such as "How does a piano go out of tune" and lots of stuff from Dungeons & Dragons.

I can see how these specific questions could set a bad precedent for "how to deal with stuff you don't know". The omnipresent cross-promotion could lead to more lameness in general.
