And here we are, the HN consumers, reading(!) the comments. No videos or pictures. I mention this to support your comment, that there are people who like to read, and learn from reading, but it requires more time, more involvement, and more imagination. We are a minority? Few have that luxury, and inclination - it turns out, so the massive onslaught of easy, entertainment. One music video can have 500 million viewers. I don't know how many viewers of HN there are, but, I doubt it's a million. It is interesting to see where (and how) the information flow goes from here on.
