I really like the phrasing ‘quirky-insight porn’, I think it captures this sort of thing exceptionally well. I have, at times wanted less of said QIP, however, because of my personal interests I would like to never see a JavaScript, webdev, Rust, etc article posted either. However, I still browse, still read the comments, and even sometime read TFA and don’t consider it a waste of time, so all in all I’m pretty okay with the state of things.
