Overall, HN is quite good. However, there is a considerable amount of groupthink here, an avoidance of many legitimate sources of information. Kind of like Gollum covering his ears and saying "I'm not listening". For example, submissions from many sites are silently banned. E.g. not long ago I tried to submit something from breitbart.com, but that's impossible to do. It just gets quietly blackholed. Still, it's not like there's a shortage of stories (or comments) on HN. So, "it's all good".
