HN and Reddit require far more scrolling to go through all the comments, and make it difficult to find recently posted comments (though Reddit has this feature if you have reddit gold or are a moderator of a subreddit). A typical newsreader shows a thread index overview which, even for thousands of posts, doesn't require that much scrolling, and makes it easy to see new posts within the thread.
