Following the blogs of people whose work you like doesn't take much effort. All it takes is a good RSS reader.
Because most of them don't have time to write frequently. The people I follow tend to write once in a blue moon, but when it happens, the articles are really good and I consider it a shame to get lost in a sea of noise.
If I open my RSS reader right now, I'm sure to find 10 good articles that I like, which is not what I can say about HN on any given day.
In fact on HN I'm glad to see an item worth my click once per month. The content promoted here is really bad IMO and I only come for the discussions, which tend to be interesting as people bother to post long comments.
