People were willing to put up with SO in the before times, nobody was excited to ask a question, it was a dreadful experience. It was their UX that doomed them immediately. Reddit and HN are still here after all.

Reddit is full of bots instead of actual humans. Arguably, so is HN.

Reddit was full of fake users even day 1, they admitted to bootstrapping the website that way.
