I find it really disheartening to learn that any article with "NSA" in the title is pretty severely penalized by HN's algos. This seems like one of the seminal issues of the decade, for this community in particular.

I find it really disheartening that there is at least one person who isn't completely tired of NSA articles at this point and even wishes to read more on the same topic. Same with Bitcoins, Snowden and so on.

That depends on the content of "more". "More new and game-changing information" != "more of the same expressed in different words". Government surveillance or non-governmental money are very broad topics, which can have a lot of different aspects. OTOH, reading yet another story "NSA spies on you" is excessive, I agree - we already know that.
