exactly, Hacker News is full of great and informative content - some of which I have actually benefitted from. however, I think me and anyone who uses this site must admit much of what is consumed goes in one ear and out the other just like any other media platform like reddit or YouTube. the difference I think is that since so much of the content is "smart", users here would like to think they are spending their time better than others
