But they need enough information to make up their minds. "I had to follow a hyperlink to get the information I wanted" is a pretty amusing first world problem.

- mindcrime 11y agoThat isn't the issue at all. The issue is choosing which links to invest the time to follow, and which ones to ignore. Or do you read every link you find on HN? If so, I imagine you're one of a very select crowd who actually have the time to do that.
- pohl 11y agoI don't read every link. I just use the information available (distance from the top, the age, what I can infer from the headline, the domain, the number of comments, the nature of the comments). It's an imperfect system, but in general I find its imperfection to be more tolerable than both the complaints about it and the downsides of any suggested "improvement".
