The AI bothered me less, but I got a little frustrated with less than substantive comments on the front page.

Oddly I made an extension* to use the site more the way I wanted and now I find it a little easier to get a higher SNR past the front page and am enjoying that. I didn't really get past post rank 60 for two decades and now generally get much further.

*(It's basically vim-keys support for basically two functions. A function to "highlight" stories/comment threads I think will be promising and then hide function for the rest.)
