> I don't think that HN is a good venue for discussion of specialized preprints that have highly surprising results, in topics that are moving extremely quickly.

Then close the site, it is useless.

But I thing the premise is 100% wrong.

People are absolutely able to evaluate reputation and evaluate comments amongst the internet and collate them here.

Currently this as a working model is not happening for C19 though and needs to be fixed.

Or you are right HN is just a Reddit clone and pointless.
