Most people aren't aware there are other types of computer fun than the free crap in their phone's app store.

Us HNers are a dying breed, a lot of people don't have computers any more, or when they have them they use them only when absolutely necessary.

Wasting time is sort of the point.

They're not aware of the alternatives.

And there's wasting time going through varied content, and there's wasting time doing the same thing for days.
