const ref = new URL(document.referrer);
if (ref.host === 'news.ycombinator.com') {
window.location.href = 'https://google.com/';
}

} catch (e) { }
</script>It seems to be a filter curate out those who aren't interested or curious enough or able to problem solve why that redirect happened, and how to circumvent it - a low bar but could filter out a lot of noise.
I can't trigger that redirect on Firefox or Chromium browsers, though. It seems HN puts a `noreferrer` on the link.
Edit: After reading the reasoning at https://macwright.com/2022/09/15/hacker-news I'm a little more sympathetic, but there's got to be a better way to handle this.
