So true. It's really what killed Facebook for me. The timeline was great. The feed was horrible and still is.
I don't care about discovery unless it happens naturally, eg I go looking for something or a friend recommends it. Same with the HN feed, I basically consider most of your friends so it works really well. An AI that has a purpose of just making sure I stick around in the site as much as possible? No.
I've gone and found news sites that were the exact same: chronological content in text format. Hacker news is like a role model for websites for me.
