Reddit was originally designed this way, and HN sort of accidentally copied it. Back then, we always said, "content is first". We wanted people to get upvotes for their content, not for who they were.
I prefer it that way.
This is how I find out that reddit is older than Hacker News. Mind blown!
Wait until you find out about Slashdot.
If you tell me that slashdot is also younger than reddit, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself. I swear it was around in the early 00s, if not before.
