To be fair, HN is a usability disaster. Grey text on all "Ask HN" posts? Grey text on comment headers? Horrible wall of text on the frontpage? The fact that the New page shows too few posts and everything scrolls off so fast? Hell, I literally browsed HN for my first month without realizing that there was a "Front Page".
