Every time this comes up, people fail to realize that it was a shtick designed to generate hype. Their platform at the time (Rap Genius) primarily catered to annotation of rap and hip-hop lyrics, so (imho) the shtick fit. I dare say was eve

I'm sure the larger platforms do have more focus, although that isn't mutually exclusive with the notion that resources are still allocated to HN. The mandate of these units probably dictates they go wherever the discussion happen
