Well having a discussion in comments can be productive if you’re learning new things. And there is a lot of good content here that many of us wouldn’t discover otherwise.

I imagine reading research or news posts on HN and commenting can be more productive than, say, reading reddit’s r/pics and commenting.

And yet probably 95%+ of the content will just be entertainment to us, not used productively.

Maybe for all of you fortunate to work in tech get professionally useful info here?

We can imagine lots of things but it doesn’t mean they’re true. You’re just moving the goalposts so that HN doesn’t fit into the “bad” category.
