Lets not call it a problem, lets call it an opportunity. Perfection lies in the eye of the beholder...
Everyone feels different about HN. The community is great, the content is awesome, but the topics are too diverse for my own feeling. There seems to be no real "Ycombinator HN is about ..." except of [mixed IT]. You find everything, from Blogs about food to latest 0-day sec-vuln. Lifestyle, Marketing, Management, name it. Its not surprising that there are plenty of readers out there. I don't say I make everything better, best or worse. I just say I make it the way I like it and how I want to read HN. If someone else likes that too, fine. In the meantime I'm happy to have a new side-project in my portfolio which others may find useful as well :).

My 2 cents.
