I wonder if someone who's not known to Google to like HN would get the same result?

If you're the kind of person that frequents HN, I would have thought you'd have the google skills to find that out.

Other people on HN like some things.

GOOD. HN's placement on Google search results is extremely disconcerting to me. I'm trying to have a conversation with HN people, not the whole Internet.

I would have thought that someone on HN would know how to use a search engine.

Is it possible that someone is geeky enough to comment on HN, but not be familiar with HHGTTG?

Thanks for this information! I'm always amazed at the types of people who browse HN.

I think someone on HN would then know about it.

the popularity of HN

I'm curious about how you found this thread. HN is a pretty niche site.

suprjami | karma 2080 | avg karma 2.41 · | 2016-12-15 09:13:51

Was gonna say, pretty sure I know about this site because of HN.

jagira | karma 1 | avg karma 0.01 · | 2011-01-05 07:34:25

It was an example. I do not know anybody else on HN. :-)

Well, I would say HN seems interesting in most cases, not only some attention grabbing platform. Don't you agree?

comboy | karma 5631 | avg karma 3.54 · | 2014-11-24 22:22:36+00:00

Well... HN may not exactly be the target audience ;)

brianbreslin | karma 3468 | avg karma 2.1 · | 2013-01-29 18:56:18+00:00

not at all, one of the reasons I love HN is because you replied. same reason I love Quora.

emiliobumachar | karma 3540 | avg karma 2.37 · | 2013-08-10 01:51:56+00:00

It's probably fellow HN'ers following the link.

loceng | karma 3948 | avg karma 0.82 · | 2017-08-14 15:48:43+00:00

Would they though? I would and perhaps many on HN, though HN demographic isn't the norm.

remram | karma 7409 | avg karma 1.74 · | 2023-11-16 09:11:49

I think HN has a poll feature.

Aqwis | karma 916 | avg karma 4.51 · | 2011-01-04 00:59:10+00:00

I for one found HN through Reddit.
