The OPs tone is perhaps unnecessarily aggressive, but I think the point deserves a fair look. HN, more often than not, shares content that is the nth derivative of the same old tired tunes (which were great the first year we heard them).
HN used to be valuable, now it's mostly entertaining. The OP is also right that words like 'hacker' and 'entrepreneur' have become maddeningly useless on HN.
Saying things like 'you could vote and change that' is not a counterargument. Sure, I could invest lots of energy in trying to make HN better, but I'm not interested in that. Don't get me wrong - I applaud the people that are, but this is not my fight - I'm here as long as content is good, and it's really on the tipping point for me.
I will however voice my dissatisfaction, with the hope that someone who does want to fight this fight will be ever so slightly moved by it.
