i visit hn for the startup content mixed with tech news. i stay because of the educated, insightful comments by the mature userbase who keep discussions on point and relevant. at one point in the past, i visited digg for the same reasons.. and 4 years ago, the reason why i switched to reddit. unfortunately, digg has suffered with every upgrade, and reddit has be over-saturated with pun threads, circlejerks, and meme-related image reposts.* once reddit reaches it's peak, i fear this crowd will migrate to the beloved hn. :(
*reddit still has great content, and we've done many great things, but the content quality has decreased as the userbase has increased.
i created this throwaway account because i know how harsh the hn community can be in regard to this subject
