I see plenty of spam and garbage on HN (examples: the same articles being posted over and over, random crypto articles with 4 upvotes, "this" or "I agree, fuck X!" bandwagon comments).
But I still think the lower volume vs. larger social medias, and the upvote/downvote system, is good so that these spam and throwaways don't take up too much of my attention vs. the actually good content.
- didgetmaster 4y agoI agree. The signal/noise ratio on HN is much better than many other sites.
- mancerayder 4y agoI think that much of Reddit is what you said above, times 100. What makes HN less severe in the above is its community of thoughtful people.
