Why is there no MacRumors.com News Discussion thread for this headline post?

Sometimes this site baffles me. I'll go to Google News and it'll have a link to a MacRumors article like this one:

M2 'Extreme' Chip Headed to New Mac Pro for Blazing Fast Performance

I'll go to the article and read it, but then I notice there is no discussion shown - and when I check the MacRumors.com News Discussion sub-forum, sure enough there is no post about it in there and no discussion.

I've seen this happen several times in the past. Why is that?

All MR is doing here is recycling the contents of an earlier Gurman article from June 26, which MR already reported on, linked, and turned into a discussion (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/news...h-series-8-m2-macs-for-2022-and-2023-l4vd5unx ). The question thus isn't why they didn't create a discussion about this. It's why they recycled this content into an article at all.

Good answer! Thx

We sometimes pull out specific aspects or angles on older stories for social media purposes.

We don’t trigger new discussion threads for these stories and they don’t appear on the main news feed bc they are repeats.

It’s a compromise that we’ve come to to increase our reach but not annoy our regular visitors.

It might make sense to link these to previous discussions.

@arn - I think this is a good idea.

It would eliminate the "I haz a confused" ? over my head when I see these posts in the "For You" section of Google News, then I come here and read it and there's no (apparent) discussion ... my 2¢ (US), anyway.
