Interesting, but this only works if (a) HN covers everything you'd want to read, and (b) some folks still go out and find other material to submit. This second assumption probably will continue to hold, but (at least for me) the first does not.
- darxius 15y agoI think that the way HN is set up encourages people to contribute interesting and engaging content (not to mention comments). As for (a), I see what you mean. I think, seeing as I only recently started really getting into new aggregation, I haven't found my niche yet. I appreciate most topics on HN and they usually have some form of impact on me (developing my first Python application at the moment). Maybe once my likes/dislikes are more defined I'll want something that isn't regularly found on HN (at point I might just start posting it to HN -- there's got to be someone else out there with the same opinions as me).
