I think that, 4-5 years ago, perhaps a large percentage of people would have fit that bill but even then it was not likely to be anywhere close to a majority. Today though this is sort of the sophisticated man's Reddit and thus your suspicion is probably off by an order of magnitude.
- niggler 14y agoI think the voting at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5628769 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5628769 has slowed down now and we can safely conclude that it is still a majority (albeit not as strong as it was in the first few years of HN)
- ScottWhigham 14y agoA bit higher percentage than I expected but such polls are often dependent upon participation of those who log in during the poll's time frame. Still though, far below a majority (as I write this) - the "Top 20" voting is 24.6% as of 5:30AM after 681 votes.
