- nddrylliog 14y agoTo be fair, most stories on HN these days mention politics. I see no sign of crime, sports, disasters, nor cute animals. I'm pretty sure no TV news channel would feature this website. Since it shot up to the top three spots and stayed there for a few hours (now at 305 points), I'd say calling 'off-topic' is pretty lame.
