I wish I could hide all of the stories about startups, for example, but instead I just ignore them. People can do the same when it comes to bitcoin articles.
Using an extension to hide the stories is ignoring them. It's just automated and highly efficient.
- noarchy 15y agoFair enough, and if that's what people want to do, then by all means do so.
- sjs 15y agoOne problem with putting blinders on yourself is that you lose touch with the zeitgeist of a site like this. Also, is it worth creating and installing browser extensions for flurries of stories that usually peter out after a week or so? Obviously some people think so and that's fine, but I think it's silly.
- sliverstorm 15y agoHow is that a problem? Some folks may not want to be in touch with the zeitgeist.
- astro1138 15y agoThat is why you read news and engage in discussion here?

- iamdave 15y agoYou think it's silly that people read what interests them and ignore things that doesn't? Isn't that kind of a big deal to the point of cognizant thought?
- sjs 15y agoPlease don't put words in my mouth, that is not what I said. I think it's silly that people want to hide the stories instead of just not reading them. I understand that they have no interest in them, however I don't think it's such a burden to just skip over stories you don't want to read.
- iamdave 15y agoThat's their prerogative.
