Adding extra top-level content types seems very expensive in terms of cognitive complexity + difficulty of making changes (since you have to think about how a change interacts with everything). Adding content within a post seems less problematic.
Yeah, that’s my guess as well. Though we might be able to do something in between where you could visit a page similar to the “Recent Comments” page where you can see all prediction-polls that have been posted in both comments and posts. And maybe feature some of that on the frontpage somehow.
