well we are more of a news aggregating service, need some original content. Need more stories to break on HN

  You don't have to have the same form as something in order to replace it. I don't think the number of breaking stories has any effect on the quality of HN.

    In fact, I think that more 'breaking' stories is going to have a negative effect.

      Agreed, more emphasis on 'breaking stories' means that there'll be more fake 'breaking stories'. Look at tabloids, the more news they 'break' the better they sell and now everything is outright lies.

  I really don't think we need TC-like original content. That wouldn't be a step in the right direction.
  • vaksel 18y ago
    not original content per se, but breaking of new stories. Before other sites. There's been a small amount of those before, but could always use more.

      I enjoy that there isn't a race to "scoop" other HN reader-contributors as it stands now. There are plenty of outlets who live or die on scoops, and there will continue to be.
