Hacker News Reader

tldr

How about the author lays off the flowery language and pseudo philosophy, and gets down to the actual issues instead?

If this article is too long to read for you, HackerNews might not be delivering the kind of content you would be interested in.

They have a point, the article doesn't half go around the block to make its point.

It's not the length, it's the length to content ratio.

Ironically that is the real issue I see with reddit. Half truths or exaggerations shrouded in psuedo-intellectual rhetoric are taken seriously and as a comment passes a certain threshhold it becomes impossible to refute.

At least on HN, the community does an excellent job of downvoting low quality comments that don't contribute to the discussion. Although there are times where it seems like reddit is leaking into this site.
