This question asked several times before;nothing changed my habit of visiting HN daily. As long as i believe the quality of people in here remains as it is in the first day then i am ok.
What bothers me not the points,karma,content or improper comments; Its the number of fresh news that increased a lot.I started to use RSS reader and what i observe that there are so much news in HN(79) then Slashdot(13) even delicious(48)?! The more i spend time in HN the more i miss good links because given more choice to the people, they tend to put aside the quality and take all.
A bit thinking about the number of fresh news i think several problems lately addressed here(other topics) closely linked to this. More news leads to more comments and more comments creates more fuss(noise) Quality of a discussion greatly reduce as more participants, lengthy comments(self reference here) and deep reply branches.Like your favorite TV discussion program where after couple of hours everyone has a word and shouting each.The quality of comments may be,may be, increase if (high karma)&(register date) take precedence. Think about the anchorman of your favorite tv discussion program: does he start with people in the backseats or starts with some wise figure?
