edit: emphasized what kind of stuff in /new
Other articles that make it feel that way that I wish I could just eliminate all together--anything talking about Node.js, productivity related (how I fooled myself into working), "how can I learn to program." These all seem way too common for my tastes.
I'm not against any of these topics, in moderation, but regardless of what anyone says, the community that has grown here over the past years has become dominated by those with poor taste.
So either come up with your own filters, but don't try to push them on everyone else here. We are diverse enough to enjoy a bit of everything.

Are you suggesting that if I build filters I not share them with the community?
I think the point I'm trying to make is that Hacker News is no longer one size fits all. If I have to spend my time here searching amongst the crap to find something I want to read, it's just flat out not worth it. I've already started going back to Reddit much more often, because of their subreddits (after years of maybe once every 6 months or so browsing).
