Am I the only one that is noticing a lot of BBC articles reaching HN frontpage that have nothing to do with tech?

Paul Graham says it's for "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

Also "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

Indeed, consider this submission history for example

As noted, it is not against the guidelines though. Personally, I just flag them.

HN is for more than tech.

It goes in cycles. If there's a good article from a new or irregular (for HN) site, you'll see a lot more articles from thast site show up on the frontpage.

It's a business article. HN is also about commerce.

Also no Agree on our tracking to read the article on BBC News, this popups makes me most of the time not read the article.
