You can use RSS feeds to be notified of stories with over N points[1] (or another rule), lessening the desire to look at everything.

Thank you for this tip! HN is one of the only websites I don’t consume via RSS. I had no idea I could customize parameters and do this.

Unfortunately, I’ll still be loading the site to find the rare links that are of high interest to but that get a low number of hits. But this will definitely help me optimize my interaction with the site. Again, thank you.

I had no idea about this. Thanks, I will try it out.
