I still enjoy reading HN because every once in a while something good comes up. But you're right, most of the time this site is overrun by a lot of SEO types and folks who want a quick buck.

In my opinion, most people see a posting and go directly to the comments to see _what I should feel about this_

Option 1: I don't really care enough about this to read through the story and develop an opinion. I'm certainly never going to domain squat since I'm quite happy in my career anyway.

Option 2: Alright, well I can at least go get a brief overview of the prevailing sentiment through the comments.

There's nothing wrong with letting experts dictate your opinions on subjects you don't have even a minor interest in. Of course, that comes with the caveat that one must judiciously choose which subjects to do this with (thus our current political climate).
