Absolutely. I recently switched my bookmark to https://news.ycombinator.com/best and I get much more high-quality links in the list. Now, I read about 60% of the stories. Previously it was more like 10%.

Also, links stay on the page for ~3 days, so I spend much less time scrolling because I already saw almost everything.
