Comment on Ask HN: What's stopping HN going the way of Reddit/Digg/Slashdot?

Comments

As a fellow Digg->Reddit->here refugee, I think we're the problem. Judging by the fact that you didn't defect from Reddit sooner, it can be reasoned that you enjoy a dash of offbeat humor, politics, and funny pictures with your programming (and in this case entrepreneurial) articles and news. In other words, you're like me, and the rest of the early majority.

We go from social news site to social news site, dragging down article quality with our penchant for less-than-total fact saturation and off-topic posts.

The only responsible thing is to get your hacker news here, and your funny pictures elsewhere. Refrain from contributing posts or articles and let the people that make this site great continue to make it great.

Wait, crap. Except for this post and that post.
