I think so. I think a lot of people on HN are going to lean towards it being a strength though. It's fast, to the point, and I never have to figure out where something was hidden in a menu since yesterday. Spotify is the absolute worst when it comes to senseless UI updates. They had it all covered for me back in 2016, and nothing I use has actually changed in functionality, just where the hell they move everything and how slow it is on my phone. I understand I have a cheap Android phone, but there's no reason an app to play music should be so slow. I use Podcast Addict for podcasts, and sometimes I'll just give up on Spotify because it won't load and listen to a podcast or Audible instead. HN has never put up a fight. Fastest site I use, and the only time I run into an issue is 9AM PT since there's usually a spike and things might load a bit slower, but it's never a huge deal, especially for a completely free site.
