HN has a totally different userbase (though there is some cross over) than Reddit. To me Reddit&#x27;s trollish uninformed arguments are what makes it funny. For instance, &#x2F;r&#x2F;The_Donald and &#x2F;r&#x2F;SandersForPresident are basically parodies of themselves. Frankly, I&#x27;m going to go to Reddit for a laugh, and maybe a few sorted threads with insight into live events unfolding...but if I want something serious I&#x27;m not going to go there. Reddit to me is like Something Awful used to be but on a much larger scale, and that&#x27;s why I like it. If Reddit ever matured to be like HN, I would probably stop going there. It&#x27;s a happy medium between dashing moments of HN like insight and 4Chan like stupidity.
