About quality I guess is subjective but I would say there are two options here:
- use the voting system to accommodate it to your quality standards
- don't visit the page
- bjelkeman-again 5y agoAlso weekends have had a quite long tradition of having more general interest subjects posted.
- tarun_anand 5y agoNot noticed it but as I said we always have the option to look elsewhere for "hacker" news
- Jcowell 5y agoYes but we don’t always have the option to see hacker news discussion. I personally invite to see HN’s viewpoints on non-“hacker” topics.
- WarOnPrivacy 5y agoAgreed. I like that it feels like days off.
- tarun_anand 5y agoYes I guess not the place for "hacker" news anymore...
- WarOnPrivacy 5y ago> - use the voting system to accommodate it to your quality standards The downvoting seems increasingly bizarre. I have a post on this page downvoted; I said the post above was reasonable. The reasonable post was correcting me; it brought up a point I had missed.
