Ask HN: What are your heuristics for deciding which HN links to click on?

I've realised that I've built up a set of heuristics for deciding what to read on HN: - don't click on anything with the word "quantum" in it — it's either too technical for me (physics or computing) or mainstream fluff with no substance - don't click on very specific programming language links, unless they're about Python or frontend web stuff (just not interested in languages I don't use) - will read anything from certain domains — danluu.com, stratechery.com, wikipedia.org, fermatslibrary.org - won't click on the latest iteration of "ML tutorial for beginners" that makes it to the front page (not the right audience, but nice to see this stuff getting popular) What are your heuristics?
