alt Hacker NewsReddit 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!

Reddit was originally designed to share links. Then to steal images and memes from other sites. Then to steal short videos from mainly TikToc and Instagram creators (now we're here). It's still a content-first site at its finest. It's just that 'content' itself has changed.
