HN reflects what their users (or people trying to influence them) post most. A few years ago it was flooded with crypto, a few years later it will be flooded with something else.

Actually, it always actively suppressed content owners found repetitive or annoying. Openly so, the moderator would even state it is being done. It is simply part of moderation.

And then there is flagging where certain content grts flagged much faster then other.

I like AI and AI news, but can't stand the endless Anslopic Claude ads.

All this site ever talks about is Claude. It's so annoying. We'd use it if it was good (it's not).

As i write this, an article about Claude is 6th from the top on the linked site.

this website reduces the priority of content, rather than filter it entirely, so some articles with high score will still appear, but lower down than they otherwise would.

This is configurable though, so you can make it whatever you want.

as well as another example I've exported from above with stronger penalty: https://sprinklz.io/public/5vsn97zcgxex

you can also visit the main homepage at https://sprinklz.io if you want to build/save/export arbitrary feeds

something that makes this website different from the others, is it lets you filter by _any_ combination of topics, and allows you to edit them live and in real time.

thanks for the your thoughts, and i will also keep working on making it faster.
