I think you are all being very unfair. I find the same proportions of insightful comments on reddit and HN but I find HN has a form of snobism that I profoundly dislike. Not in all users, but it's obviously there and sucks. If you avoid the stupidest subreddits (/pics, /funny, etc) it's actually amazing what high level of discussion you can meet. (while having a good laugh too, btw).
