The other founder here. Newsbrane is still in its infant stage, and your criticisms are entirely valid :). The first 10 minutes aren't very satisfying. The site actually does exactly what you want it to do: it learns your tastes and shows you only the things you're interested in. What you experienced was the "Explore" mode, which is designed to figure out your tastes, not give you the best stuff. Explore is the 3-at-a-time mode you start out in. Once you've done some voting, you can use the "Recommended" mode, which does what you want. The site works great for people with 50 votes or more. We are still working on the new user experience, and we are ravenous for feedback like yours, so thank you.
