news.ycombinator.com is less interesting to me now than when it was known as Startup News
aka Evolution.
EDIT: And for every single person who find HN less interesting, there are 100 new users who love what you have helped built. Be happy.
- swombat 18y agoHardly. Not to sound rude or anything, but I don't give a crap about the other 100 users. I care about what news I read. Ultimately this is pg's site and he can do whatever the heck he wants with it. Whenever I state my dislike of a specific article, I'm not making some grand statement about what YCNews should be to fulfill the purpose of the universe, only about what I personally would prefer to see (or not) on this site.

- rokhayakebe 18y agoSure and HN revolves around username swombat. I do like your energy but you are wasting it for the wrong purpose. HN will go where the majority drives it. And nobody said anything about PG owning it or his authority over it. And even He said that sometimes he is surprised to see some post make it to the top, but overall he was satisfied with the content.
- swombat 18y agoHN will go where the majority drives it. I hope not... I believe, perhaps foolishly, that pg will take measures to ensure that this doesn't happen.
