I can see where you're coming from and at least partly agree, but I feel the need to call you out on this one. A few of your own submissions from the past month or so:

Current alert: Airport security remains relevant (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1849017)

Mike Rowe celebrates dirty jobs (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1756098)

Richard Wiseman's favorite optical illusions (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1729036)

Overall, your own submissions don't look all that much different from the current /newest page as hacker relevancy goes.

Yes, I agree (and I've upvoted you) that my posts have started to decline in the same way as others have. Or at least, had started to decline. It was recognising that decline that made me write what I did, and I've started to change the things I submit.

I do note that you've gone back over four weeks to get some of those specific examples. I think the balance still shows a strong preponderance of technical items.

And it's for that same reason that, apart from addressing the two immediate questions here, I won't contribute to this thread any further.
