Calling them "indistinguishable" is the kind of "welp!" hyperbole that excuses — no, encourages — the slide you bemoan.

If that's what HN is, congratulations: You just helped make it that way a little bit more.

I'm not sure where your hostile tone is coming from -- I prefer reddit to HN, and don't have any issues with them being (more) similar. I only used that as a descriptor for his stories because I've heard that used as an explicit reason for people having downvoted/flagged similar types of posts in the past.
