Well what's unique about HN and Wikipedia? They're largely non-monezited. If Buzzfeed can make more money off of a flashy website it's hard to argue with.

- shortstuffsushi 10y agoI don't think it's either/or. You can make a "flashy" (in the sense of Buzzfeed) without it being burdened by huge amounts of js. Likewise, monetized sites are still frequently not like Wikipedia or HN.
- rtpg 10y agoHN doesn't do much, but Wikipedia does a decent amount of stuff with JS on their website despite people taking it as an example of "the web as documents" meanwhile, I don't know how FB or Twitter are nice user experiences when you operate on a "paginate 20 tweets at a time" philosophy.
