And here we are, the HN consumers, reading(!) the comments. No videos or pictures.
I mention this to support your comment, that there are people who like to read, and learn from reading, but it requires more time, more involvement, and more imagination. We are a minority?
Few have that luxury, and inclination - it turns out, so the massive onslaught of easy, entertainment.
One music video can have 500 million viewers. I don't know how many viewers of HN there are, but, I doubt it's a million.
It is interesting to see where (and how) the information flow goes from here on.
- keiferski 3y agoFor sure, I love HN and love reading. But if we’re honest here, it’s a niche thing. A random TikTok video gets more views than a link that’s on the HN front page all day.
