At risk of being condescending, 50% of the platform's job is also being reader-friendly. If it can't achieve that, then it's not very well-designed. Some people have said it has a nicer nag than Medium, though surely we can do much better and have no nagging when you're in the middle of reading an in-depth technical article?

- lithos 3y agoI'd reckon that user/reader comfort is less than 50% of the site's purpose nowadays. Considering author content is future training data for an AI, meaning it's more likely more monetizable than users (especially a hackernews user). IE: make money from readers, be comfortable for writers, collect data to be future monetizable for AI training.
