I think of it like stack overflow's recommended questions feed, which I also turn off. Its fun, but a time sink

So this is a principle you live by to avoid time sinks in any form. Fair.

I'm interested, what makes HN frontpage different? Why spend time on HN but avoid "fun" submissions? To me the extension serves as almost a shortcut to help you find interesting stories you're looking for. I imagine you also closely monitor and limit the time you spend on HN as well?

Do you have recommendation for books or articles that resonate or helped influence you regarding this.
