I answered "Yes," but only in a convoluted reading of the question. Most accurately, HN is the only online service I use that is mainly a source of news. Put another way, I come here for the information and discussion, and it just happens to be a news site[1]. Before HN, I went nowhere (online or offline) explicitly to obtain news. After HN, I expect I will, again, simply do without. [1] Which suits it well, IMO. I always flag old/repeat articles.
