I'm not saying the articles aren't relevant (they are), I'm just wondering why they are being voted to the first page. On one hand, I want to stay up-to-date on tech news, but on the other hand I'm one of those people that avoids other news because it just depresses me. And what I keep noticing is that this other news keeps making the front page of what should be a tech/startup news site. What's the reasoning behind this?<p>I get depressed every time I come here, and everywhere I go these articles just keep "following me around."
Can you be more specific? I scanned the front page and only see two submissions that would be complicated to justify if HN were strictly about technology.
> What's the reasoning behind this?<p>Votes? Like in a democracy?<p>From the HN guidelines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting."<p>> I get depressed every time I come here, and everywhere I go these articles just keep "following me around."<p>So don't read the "depressing" articles. Vote with your mouse.
