Slow and mostly in hindsight.

I’m not a big fan that many front page links are to big news outlets nowadays. It’s not hard to find NYT, WSJ, Economist, etc news and I’m not generally seeking out that type of content here. But I see a lot of it on HN now. And geez so many paywall links.

I liked it much more when it was more independent content. More focused on learning and building. It felt like the whole start up thing was new and everyone was helping each other learn.

Regardless of time, the comments keep me coming back. It feels more like the “old” internet when it had a net positive vibe.

You could make a custom view that filters that stuff. Maybe logs it so you can spend some time scanning through any that might be interesting to you. Most of the time, though, you just see the non-news links.
