In the old days I don’t remember as much political / world news allowed.

> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
But I’ve seen more types of TV news stories going through, like stories about political protests, stories about politics in Eastern Europe, free speech debates, etc.
Without getting into the details of each particular submission I’m curious if you think the submission standards have remained consistent throughout the years or if your curation philosophy has changed at all and if so, in what ways?
P.S. Thanks for all you do as mods and for making HN an a valuable and unique community. It’s awesome to go to a thread and see helpful links or comments that enhance the conversation.
-posts about nostalgia, how the 'old' world wide web was better, retro computing, reliving the past, etc.
-quanta magazine math articles, because the concepts are too difficult or abstract for anyone to debate or discuss them
-posts about privacy, big tech bashing (gets tired, repetitive after while)
I would like to see fewer of those kind of posts. I would like to see more:
-personal blog posts
-posts about economics findings (instead of just the 'hard' sciences)
