i have to agree as well, which is why i thought it was kinda like the new digg, course i dont really read digg any more.

what i find in yc news: inspiration, fresh, new, professional development, stuff to think about, its almost a good excuse for browsing vs say drudgereport,

i see alot more 2.0 newness mentions as well, i usually go to emilys hub for that

it feels more fresh, and i feel like it matters more than random dude check this out digg like stuff
