Eh... I'm not Gen Z and I get this quite often too. Sure there are a few dozen new articles on the front page of HN, but not all of them are interesting to me.

Eh... I'm not Gen Z and I get this quite often too. Sure there are a few dozen new articles on the front page of HN, but not all of them are interesting to me. Sure there are thousands of subreddits but good ones are hard to find and eventually you'll run out of interesting content there, too. Random Wiki pages are fun, but for every good one there's a hundred boring ones. I used to use StumbleUpon but again, the signal to noise ratio is just silly. I don't think your assumption that these teens just don't know how to discover content is correct. The problem is that content isn't interesting. There's only so many times you can hit random on Wiki and stare at "List of famous dogs from Bollywood movies" before you want something more engaging. Your comment, to my ears, sounds like "these kids need to put down their Nintendos and go play a nice game of kick-the-can!"
