Yeah I feel that way about a lot of articles on the web. And this article for example I didn't read until it had several hundred points on HN which implies it would almost certainly be worth the read. I skip over tons of articles on news websites and have been wondering for years if it would be possible to filter the headlines on news sites to avoid even seeing the 'human tragedy' stories that fill the news these days.
