I upvoted the article as a gut reaction after reading it but what you say is true. In trying to make HN a great filter for all kinds of articles we risk losing a great filter for tech/entrepreneurial articles.
- We're missing other news about startups and hacking in the precious space that is the front page.
- People that come here for startups and hacker news begin to question the worth in coming here.
So, I'll repeat the two-pronged battle cry: flag inappropriate stuff, head to the "new" section at least once a day and vote up stuff on hacking and startups.
Do whatever you want to do - vote up or vote down whatever you want to vote up or down.
Thank you
