- hoherd 4y agoRight? That blog isn't even in a webring.
- superkuh 4y agoA bit. It all depends on how you use HN. Every time I find some interesting site I add it's feed (rss/atom) to my reader (QuiteRSS). Usually stuff on HN has a feed.
- rakoo 4y agoIt's not that ironic, because the fuel for our comments is all the websites. We use HN to discuss but the vast majority of content is outside HN. Unless you consider HN comments to be the actual content, like many people, me included.
- t_mann 4y agoWell, HN comments are indexed, and HN itself links to >90% third-party websites. Aggregators like HN would likely be part of an (itself unlikely) resurgence of individual websites. It's like an interactive version of the old Yahoo.
- mattbrewsbytes 4y agoWhat’s funny in this thread is multiple people saying they are working on it. Yet HN is a common place to see social media bashing and comments about people leaving X platform, etc. I doubt the demographic here knows enough about say teenager social media usage (for example) to build The Next Big Thing in social media.
