Yes. I think the reason why most people browse HN is for those rare nuggets of knowledge that one can sometimes only find here. Sure, the general quality of discourse here is greater relative to the discussion found on Reddit/Twitter/etc. But even then that is not enough to distract us from the repetitive cynical nature of the most upvoted comments.
