Maybe it's good that it has a high barrier of entry though.. If it would become too mainstream it would get lost in the currents of mainstream news. I don't want to read about the Kardashians here.

But honestly I can't say excessive discussion of subjects I have no real interest in is the reason I avoid most online discussion forms (incl. social media). An HN thread about a Kardashian is probably still likely to be more interesting than your average FB (or Twi..., sorry "the site formerly known as an X symbol") comment thread about topics I'm genuinely invested in.
