I think you're suffering from confirmation bias. Certainly there's a lot of repeating content, but there's tons of new stuff on HN constantly. An unfortunate habit I once noticed in myself was skipping over articles whose titles I didn't understand, even though if I want to learn about new things that's almost certainly the wrong way to go about it. You'll notice (and remember) what you're familiar with much more than what you're not. If you really want to increase the diversity of content on HN, spend more time on the new page. There are ~25 links submitted in the past couple of hours (on a Sunday). Probably 80% of submitted links receive fewer than 5 upvotes, but there's tons of great stuff in there that simply doesn't get upvoted quickly enough to get a front-page vote-boost.
