Fully agreed. It's also that the interesting stuff quickly falls off the front page, and you have to go to https://news.ycombinator.com/active to find it.

"Social media" is such a wide and vague term. We're basically banning people from talking to each other.

To me, Google switched the "Evil bit" around the time of the Dragonfly debacle (2018)
