  > it seems to be diluting quality on HN rather than being important I think this underscores the difficulty in quantifying the nature of "quality", especially for a broad audience. I generally check the NYT homepage every day, so seeing its URLs on HN isn't particularly helpful to me (ignoring the value of the HN discussions)...however, there is so much interesting information on a daily basis, period, that I bet if the HN front page consisted solely of the most-upvoted of high-traffic mainstream sites, e.g. github, nytimes, medium...it'd still be interesting to me because there'd be a lot that I would've missed otherwise. That said, it'd be cool to have an option/Chrome plugin to filter the frontpage links to domains with relatively rare submissions, just to be able to quickly see the unique upvoted submissions for the day.
