I mean, I enjoy seeing a few of them a day show up on the front page, but when more than half the front page is nothing but Show HN that detracts from my experience, though it may not have the same impact for you.
If the default is to show them and to allow them to whiteout the front page, I would rather have an option to not see them at all personally, which I do think is unfortunate but that's how I feel. I enjoy HN for the news and light sprinkling of Show HN, not the other way around.
