I don't usually go on forums to look for funny things. I'm there because people talk about things I'm interested in.

> One does not spend their preciously scarce free time on an Internet forum if there is nothing funny about it.

By your own metrics, HN is often a failure and you should not (or do not) spend time here.

In what way is HN failing? HN is an excellent source of humour. Even this very comment I am replying to contains a fair amount of hilarity.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood your definition of hilarity. There was a lot of discussion elsewhere about a specific type of humor. The trolling/random kind of humor.
