I agree, it's hard to filter through all the nonsense when browsing New. Of course everyone would like to earn some money, so most are just blogging about anything they can think of.
I wonder what could be done to help solve this problem, it's not something I know a solution for. All I can do is just upvote actual interesting content, as we all should :)
