I think the stongest point of Hubski is that the content is quite limited. I can't spend hours scrolling headlines like I did at Reddit. Often enough, after a page or so I've seen most of the content of the day. That means that nearly every post gets my full attention: I want to participate in the discussions, so I want to read the articles. And when I'm out of content, conversation is always possible and encouraged.was too readily available
No, not basically that. It is an aspect of the greater picture, but to reduce my post to that would lose the nuance. The difference is the value I give to a post, not just the value that the post already has. Reddit might have the exact same article, but I give it much more thought here than on there, because I know that it might spawn a good discussion. Simplifying a statement always reduces some quality, but if you simplify too much you might lose it completely.
