>I reckon lots of folks rather read the comments at HN than the piece itself.

Absolutely. The style of HN and some types of Reddit comments tend to be my favorite form of of writing.

Experienced commenters learn to cut the shit, drive the point home, add some levity, and be done with it. And the best posts filter to the top.

It's 2018- we have content out the ears. Nothing makes for worse reading than that journalistic self-importance of one's own authorship.
