This is my take too. The asynchronous nature of HN takes some time to get used to, but it organically brings diversity to every discussion. I've seen insightful comments that make me want to follow a user, but in the end I'm glad I can't because it'd reduce diversity. Other social networks focus too much on following influencers, which naturally narrows your horizon to whatever the influencer thinks. People who follow influencers to criticize them are still narrowed to the direct opposite of what the influencer thinks. It's the monetization of bugs in our psyche.
