Here are a couple of examples of the kind of content that I think would have been upvoted 5-6 years ago, but nowadays seems to die in the /new queue or not even make it that far.

They're not truly stellar, outstanding examples because I don't have enough time to dig through 100 to find 5 that would fit, but I found them pretty interesting and think that 6 years ago they would have gotten at least some upvotes and discussion.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10606780 - actionable suggestions backed up by practical experience. Slightly shilling his new startup, but also interesting and worth a read. I added it to my bookmarks. 1 upvote in the /new queue, from me.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10606876 - Found on Medium, wasn't even submitted to HN. Interesting discussion, actionable advice, focused on very HN-centric topic (Lean Startup). No upvotes so far.

Overall, I find that I have better luck discovering this kind of content on HN these days from reading /new than reading the front page. However, that still involves kissing a LOT of frogs because of the /new signal-to-noise ratio. I almost never see this sort of content make it to the front page in 2015.

Again, hope this feedback's useful!
