The best things about HN and (a narrow, personalised) Reddit are the comments.

A knowledgeable, enthusiastic community provides lots of background, alternative views, tit bits of related info and random facts. Without comments and discussion most of the value is gone.

I mentioned this merely as a historical footnote to show how far reddit's come.
