  Seconded. I too love HN comments. Overall, my perception is that HN has reasonably non-clickbaity articles with a good blend of tech and non-tech. The comments I find largely pertinent, overwhelmingly constructively critical, with FAR fewer trolls, flames and biased voting than any other public forum on the internet I've ever come across since the original Usenet days. In fact, it reminds me very much of good ol' Compuserve (there's nothing like having to pay REAL money for a subscription to curb bad behaviour).

  To be honest, I practically never read posts beyond titles. If there is no tldr in comments, post was not worth it anyway. It may seem funny, but it is a great mechanism to selectively widen knowledge without going into details everywhere.
