I'd settle for a way to see hacker news without all the posts complaining about all the posts covering the trending tech at the moment. In the 15 years I have been on HN, these discussions complaining about content has been centered around Social Media, Web 2.0, Big Data, Crypto, NFTs, etc. It's tiresome and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's different now. If you look at the top results vs /new it is clear there is a huge mismatch in supply vs demand of slop about AI on a level that we never saw with those other things. So many people want to ask "why is vibe coding working for everybody else but not for me?" or "Show HN: I vibe coded something that almost worked", "Show HN: Another Tool to Fill the World With AI Slop", or "Tell HN: I put up a stupid anime girl on my site to protest AI crawlers" on a scale never seen before.

Go to the /new page regularly and upvote articles that are not about AI to give them a fighting chance.

I think HN benefits more from curiosity than agendas.

And I think commercial agendas are usually more likely to be intellectually interesting than ideological ones.

But that's me. YMMV, and probably does.
