I get that. And if an LLM story disappears from the front page—oh well.

I'll defend the political stories though. For me, all the other places out there that vend politics are truly awful. While a political post lingers briefly on the HN front page, I find I actually learn something from the comments. If there are shit-posts in the discussion, they are quickly "dead". More often though there are (seemingly) reasoned debates about the issues in the comments.

I appreciate (what I am embarrassed to call) a more intellectual discussion on politics than I have been able to find anywhere else. (Embarrassed because I'm walking a fine line trying not to appear to cast the discussions as "elitist". Or maybe I am an elitist, who knows.)

I come to HN to escape endless ragebait and political drama. HN is for me what places like Ars Technica or Slashdot used to be.

Thanks, @dang! keep up the good work.
