Any chance there could be a version of hackernews in the future that doesn't show or isn't consumed by stupid meta headlines? Meta is irrelevant, basically aol to me. I don't use them, i won't use them (again, ever, under any circumstances). I don't trust them. I only tell my friends and family not to either. There is nothing they could do to change my mind, if they built the very best Metaverse i still won't use it. I will happily use the one that is not theirs, because my people will be there. Hackernews has a lot of my type of people too.

Look for or create a browser extension that does this for you. Regardless, I suspect the answer to your question is a hearty: No. Meta is a tech company (and very relevant one at that), so these articles will continue to appear. I see no objective problem with that.

  Write a simple JavaScript userscript using ViolentMonkey, TamperMonkey, or GreaseMonkey, and it should be fairly easy to accomplish this.

Many of these types of posts concerning social media companies are quite interesting to me because they impact and Influence the entire Internet and how it operates... Just as much as I like reading about the most dominant headlines in tech, I like being informed about how these companies are screwing up marketing and promotion for everyone, because I run my own companies, and it's been very difficult and increasingly costly to promote the work I do because of social media companies and their strangle hold on the planet. I am pretty sure this latest attempt by Meta is only a cover-up to allow them to continue to push more sponsored posts into everyone's feeds rather than pushing original work from independent creators.
