6 of the top 10 articles at the time of writing are corporate news sources (sciencedaily, nytimes, washingtonpost, cbc, bbc, medium).

I don't have any data but I would be interested to know if these companies are gaming the system. It sure would be in their best interest and I can't help but shake the feeling that they are after looking at the front page sometimes.

It would be good to get a 'hail corporate' button / profile setting that could toggle some of these domains from your front page.

I haven't seen evidence of that and would be shocked if they were. Maybe this is an advantage of HN being relatively small.
