Can you be more specific? I scanned the front page and only see two submissions that would be complicated to justify if HN were strictly about technology.
I sometimes see spam and astroturfing...in /newest and very briefly, before it's flagged into oblivion and the offending user banned. IMHO the voting system works as designed - keeping such abominations from the front page.

Votes? Like in a democracy?
From the HN guidelines: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting."
> I get depressed every time I come here, and everywhere I go these articles just keep "following me around."
So don't read the "depressing" articles. Vote with your mouse.

I get depressed every time I come here, and everywhere I go these articles just keep "following me around."
