Moderate Noise Causes
slater: I've noticed the whole "posting-links-for-links'-sake" happening too; lately, the front page has, at most times, at least one link to Seth Godin's blog, and many times multiple links to techcrunch.My "solution"? Skim the front page, and spend more time on /newest instead. There you have a wider range of topics, but they're also easier to filter: The usual gaggle of amateurish SEO attempts with rolex/viagra/holiday-home/tourist sites, some repeats from the front page, but for the most part, fresh & interesting stuff that barely makes the front page any more. Works for me.
