This is karma for us originally starting the fire about typing reddit in our Google searches (I believe it's fair to say this was discovered independently by many technically proficient people over the course of the preceding half decade), but we definitely had a hand in publicizing it.

I'm curious what the end result will be but will be disappointed if the quality of HN decreases to be more in line with Reddit et al.

What makes HackerNews different from Reddit is that people I actually respect frequent here, real players at the game of life and whatnot (whatever that means), and I can't say the same about Reddit. If it gets too popular I can see that being jeopardized.

The sad thing is those people most definitely have been on Reddit, but the enshittification hit too hard and most of them just quit.
