I get it; we all have our annoyances. Personally, the above kind of comment is tiring. Complaints about what makes the HN front page seem like a waste of energy. How can we contribute to moving the conversation forward? By "forward" I mean learning from each other, sharing ideas, and other constructive goals.
P.S. If you don't want to see [keyword] in HN, there are probably browser extensions that can help you.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoThe problem is that I am interested in Rust's development and I do want to see the Rust keyword, when the content is substantive. For example, there is another front page post right now about Rust and Haskell, which is an interesting commentary.

- pclmulqdq 4y agoAs far as I can tell, the input is the low-effort "I like Rust but have no insight" blogs. The output is their appearance on the front page of this website.
