Hacker News Reader

I just immediately close the tab on any article that starts with "[person's name I don't recognize] was [doing something not directly related to the article's title]". If it's a topic of particular interest (like this one), I'll come here to see if there are comments.

Pretty much what I did. I tried skimming a bunch but it was paragraphs of narrative crap. I use to read articles in The Atlantic when I was younger, but I've grown tired of this long form journalism.

One thing I do enjoy are long form podcasts, because I can listen to them on the train or on long drives.

I do the same thing every time and I am glad to see there are so many others who feel the same way.

Same here.. i found almost all nytimes articles cited in HN are always overwhelming, if that is the correct wording.
