It'll eventually happen to HN like it has with every other social news site out there.
- allenbrunson 18y agoi don't think so. those other sites are motivated by maximum users and pageviews. the management around these parts are motivated by quality and high signal-to-noise, and actively discourage trolls and discord.
- icey 18y agoWith respect, you've been here for 2 months. I think it's a bit premature of you to predict the demise of YC.
- dmix 18y agoYeah, our niche will out last those other niche(s)! But seriously, Digg had a chasm to cross, I don't think HN can go mainstream.
- icey 18y agoWell, the goal of this site is not to grow large, it is to be useful (as per PG). Digg and reddit are companies before all else; their goal is to grow as large as possible. Artima hasn't "gone digg", I don't see why this site has to.
- jonursenbach 18y agoArtima doesn't look to be a social news site.
- jonursenbach 18y agoWith respect, you're an ass. Just because I've had a registered account does not mean at all that I've only been on the site for 2 months.
- icey 18y agoI guess when the user base starts resorting to childish name-calling, the end probably is near.
- jonursenbach 18y agoHow big of you.
- pg 18y agoWill you please stop wasting space with these silly arguments?
