Why? Why make it addictive? Why abuse human nature on what is a website run by adults, for adults, and is doing fine without being turned into a raging nest of wasps?
Go away.
Edit: we have lives to live. I personally avoid addictive shit with vengeance.
I quit smoking, I quit alcohol. I quit facebook. I would quit HN if it ever became “addictive” or anything other than the technology safe harbor i find it to currently be.
Yes, I feel strongly about this.
- DavidSJ 8y agoThe OP is not requesting that HN be more addictive. They're asking why it is already.
- HNLurker2 8y agoElizer once said in a blogpost don't click on the link that goes to HN to not create another internet addiction: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/cyzXoCv7nagDWCMNS/you-re-calling-who-a-cult-leader https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/cyzXoCv7nagDWCMNS/you-re-cal... and that was 10 years ago. Looking back on what I've done all year seems like I sent hours and hours on reddit and HN basically doing nothing.
