There does seem to be a tendency on HN for there to end up being a series of stories on a particular topic.
One person will post a link, then somebody who reads the linked article will do some further reading, discover something interesting, and then post a link to their interesting discovery to HN, and the cycle continues.
I rather like it. It happens at a low enough level, as you mentioned, that it provides a nice stream of information on a particular topic.
- el_benhameen 8y agoI like it too. I tend to be the only person in my close circle who finds HN-type content interesting, so it’s fun to go on a tangent and then see what others who went on the same tangent think.
- jamesmiller5 8y agoIt would be nice to capture those reply chains and package up a bunch of related links at once. Kind of like a shared mapping of our unexpected deep internet dives on Wikipedia, just automated.
