I don't think any of this is "good" web-design. But my argument never was about the layout or design of Hacker News being "better". What I meant to argue was, that content is king, and that everything else should serve the actual content - not distract from it.

"What I meant to argue was, that content is king, and that everything else should serve the actual content - not distract from it." Thank you! So many sites have utterly garbage contrast, making content unreadable - it's so annoying. I spam this excellent discussion of color and usability as often as I can: https://designsystem.digital.gov/design-tokens/color/overview/ https://designsystem.digital.gov/design-tokens/color/overvie... but getting stupid 20 something designers with perfect vision to pay attention is almost impossible :p
