To represent a contrary viewpoint: I haven't seen more than a handful of the patently useless accounts whereas I've noticed more and more "big names" showing up on HN. Just the other day in the Python language moratorium story I was asking about a particular PEP making the cut-off and the author of the PEP responded. I was blown-away. The HN experience balance is still massively in favor of those latter moments rather than the former. The level of the technical discourse is still higher than any other general technology site, even if there are a few ankle-biters around now.
