I appreciate the heads up. I'm getting tired of all the magazine, tabloid, and sales pitches getting to the front page here.

What are some specific examples of these posts that you're getting tired of? Links would be helpful.
Here's two I can remember off the top of my head.

This one is just a magazine profile story with a musician. It was titled "First recording of tinnitus raises new questions", which instead of sharing the recording, was an interview with a musician and shared her album pieces. I see that it was recently renamed to " An Interview with Lola De La Mata about tinnitus", which is more accurate because I would not have opened it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40600748

Here's another one titled "Pleasure or Pain? He Maps the Neural Circuits That Decide." It's also a profile piece, and half the article is full page pictures of the scientist and his life story. It's just a magazine article on the man, and not really going into his work. It actually has "magazine" in the name so I should have expected that. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40238788

And then of course there's the current article which is is a misleading headline that's actually an ad for their services. Hey, pretty cheap, but not what I'm looking for here.
