I don't like every story submitted to Hacker News, but how I deal with that is visit the new page<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/newest" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/newest</a><p>often and upvote what I like and what fits the site guidelines.<p><a href="http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html" rel="nofollow">http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html</a><p>Personally, I find discussions about what HN gets right<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4399678" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4399678</a><p>more interesting than complaints about what HN gets wrong.
I do notice waves with the HN frontpage, some times there's more interesting stuff and sometimes it's all a bit boring.<p>I agree for the past day or two I've found things a bit boring but I totally expect a wave of really cool stuff soon, which has happened many times in the past.
