Compared to the news sites you've mentioned, I've increasingly discovered that the primary reason I read things on HN is the page load times.
The professional commentary, snark, and community of TechCrunch are lovely - but they simply aren't worth a load time fifteen times longer than a text page full of HN comments and a quick link to the article/startup in question.
Makes me wonder what other things I would more readily consume with a primarily text driven interface...

- masonhensley 15y agoI honestly thought it only happened to me. I've pretty much stopped reading TC because of it. I cringe every time there is a good discussion going on HN over a TechCrunch article, because I just know it will inevitably lead to safari crashing on my iPad.
- tobtoh 15y agoI also prefer HN because I can comment without having to use FB.
