Not to mention that the threads shift up and down due to votes in-between clicking on Page 2 and further, so really the only way not to lose sight of the threads you want to read is to open them all as tabs at once, and then be left with 20-30 items that are of marginal interest. HN to me feels like being nerd sniped[0] in perpetuity. I've only myself to blame for this, ofc, but that doesn't change how strong the draw is. LeechBlock NG has helped me somewhat. I still waste time on HN, though not as greatly as before. That override button makes me think: am I willing to burn another 10 minute block of productive time this day on doom-scrolling Reddit and HN? [0] https://xkcd.com/356/ https://xkcd.com/356/
