This is why I have my own idiosyncratic notion of how HN is very, very conservative.

The artistic taste, the aesthetics of personal tech blogs, even the aesthetic of this website itself. It's hyper-functionalist. It's all-about-the-business. Don't forget those with perceptual access needs.

And the colors, styles, and general artistic output of web media has been... all-about-the-business. Gone is the spirit of the Flash era. Tech is so business business business.
