The opportunity to see what others think of a topic is what I think I come here for as well
But I don't click on something every time I come here. I skim the front page and the "new" page several times most days but probably only click a link an average of about 5-10 times a day.
I come here when I'm taking a break from coding. I take a lot of short breaks.
The thing I love most about HN is the wide range of topics people share here. I find stuff here that I just wouldn't come across anywhere else.
That and the opportunity to see what others think about and add to those topics offers such a great way to learn that HN is one of the very few sites I do visit every day.
And the main reason I visit it is to find links to click on. Next would be to read the comments. Much further, but next after that would be to comment on the subject and content of the link.
