"When I currently scan the "new" pages, I find less than 3% of the posts interesting."

I find general News site unreadable. Just trash, shitloads of advertisements, they try to blur the line between news and advertisement. You can't even navigate this stuff without an adblocker.

Using an RSS reader with selected feeds, helps a lot. Especially since you will have many blogs that rarely post something and without an RSSReader you would not be able to follow them.

I'm talking about this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/newest; it's just every post in chronological order. The selective RSS reader only helps if someone (or a good individualized algorithm) has done the selection.

Something like https://hnrss.org/frontpage?points=50 will ensure your RSS reader won't get cluttered. You could apply also try say https://hnrss.org/newest?points=50 play around with it a little until the outcome makes you satisfied. The syntax is available at https://hnrss.org
