I agree about the Discover/Answer tab not being "sticky" any longer. The default has always been "Discover", since they put it in years ago, but until yesterday Y!A would remember your choice.
I don't recall the Answer tab ever filtering out questions I've read or replied to, though. There used to be a control to only show questions with no answers at all, but that seems to be gone now. It's a separate issue.
You have my upvote on the idea; and my suggestion is to make it sticky again. The default for noobs should probably be "Discover", but Y!A should certainly remember the user's choice.

What's a comparable situation where adding a reward has converted "an unhealthy competitive atmosphere" into a cooperative one? I've seen penalties work, like adding a wager to a card game so that silly play will cost a player, but I haven't seen rewards help. If people are willing to be stupid for free, they'll still be willing even if someone else is making money, right?

I wonder if this is the "fix" for the "Your criteria doesn't match any questions." message I complained about 3 years ago. It would be almost tragically hilarious if that were so.

Please DON'T implement this. I was around when this was allowed and the abuse was appalling. There were many users with millions of best answers!? You know that's a hack. Y!A hadn't been up long enough for anyone to type that many quality answers. (It didn't help that users could up-vote their own answers, either!)
If you want to get credit for up-votes, the simple way to do that is just to count them. How many up-votes on all answers you've given. That's another stat to go along with (not replace) asker-selected "Best Answer" counts.

I haven't seen that yet, but you have my votes on this. Really, though, getting rid of anonymous questions and answers would make this problem go away.

Partial Workaround: The discover/answer mode is encoded in the URL, so you can bookmark a link specifically to your favorite area in "Answer" mode. This will *not* work with any of the links on Y!A pages, though, so the "Pinned" list is pretty much useless until they fix this regression.
