Not that it's HN's fault

In a way, it is.

A lot of people joined HN searching for a higher level of discussion and thought. And HN is powered by submissions from its users.

What would be nice is if we could get more high-quality submissions to drown out the bots and other low-grade content.

Perhaps if users could filter out submissions by domain. For example, I don't mind seeing nytimes.com submissions, but I don't want to see anything from youtube.com.

But then we're just back to building yet another social media echo chamber. Yuck. Life is hard.
