How bad is that really if users are aware of it and they can simply reload the page?

Not very bad for Hackernews. Terrible for Facebook, Twitter or any website that claims to be interactive

Personally, I'm not eagerly waiting for updates on Facebook all the time. They might as well appear after a reload.

Of course, chat/messenger is something else, but I consider that an exception. (It's easy to build a chat service on top of a static website).
