HN has been business focused for a very long time, it was founded by a VC and a major theme on any given day has always been startups and what they're doing, how they're doing it, or how to join that club yourself. That means it always has a lot of coverage related to the current major industry trends.

There's a hide option beside every link, use it. You can hide any of the stories you don't care about for whatever reason you may have. You can also check out the various lists like /active, /pool, and others to find more interesting discussions that may not be making it to, or staying on, the first couple of pages.
