I don't think this holds true anymore. I would argue that many of the articles have become more popularised. It is undeniable that HN has changed over the years. I'm not saying it is like Reddit, but there are certainly parallels

I didn't feel engaged by this at all and would be quite interested to see how other HN users feel about this previous interactive offering by the same band: http://www.beonlineb.com/
