Flag and hide is the way to go.

"Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate for the site. If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its 'flag' link. If you think a comment is egregious, click on its timestamp to go to its page, then click 'flag' at the top. (Not all users see flag links; there's a small karma threshold.)"

Just hide if you're not personally interested. IMO flagging that would be an abuse of the facility and just wasting moderator time.

Do all flags get reviewed by moderators? I was under the impression that if some threshold number of people flag the same topic, it disappears automatically.

I want to actively support keeping the quality of submissions high. Hiding junk like this would not be enough.

Your personal idea of a high quality submission is not the yardstick by which submissions are measured. You get that, right?

Of course!
