Some people come to HN for interesting articles, many lists exists if you want to know what I mean.

If, say, a third to two third of articles in any given frontpage, for multiple months to years, do not fit this description - can you see how one's ability to find what they are looking for gets hampered?

Like yes, you can grow nice flowers on the beautiful fertile soil there, it just sucks we need to get rid of these protected grasslands harboring endangered species on top of it.

Who are you to say whether an article is interesting to anyone else but yourself?

  • It’s not clear where you are trying to go with this aggressive line of questioning that puts words into other peoples mouths that they aren’t saying.

    • It only seems aggressive if you believe that HN somehow owes you the precise content you are seeking over whatever it’s delivering now.

      If you don’t like the topic, don’t read it. No one’s forcing you to do so.

      Don’t yuck someone else’s yum.

      The internet’s a big place and life is short, spend your time reading stuff you like rather than bitching that you want things another way.
